Como’s recent surge came to a hard stop at Frosinone, where Cesc Fàbregas’ side created enough to keep the contest open but left beaten 2-0. The visitors’ attacking intent remained clear throughout, yet Lorenzo Palmisani produced an outstanding goalkeeping display, making eight important saves as Frosinone converted their key moments.
Frosinone punish Como’s missed chances
- Frosinone struck in the 14th minute with one of their early attacks. Romano Schmid supplied Giacomo Calò, who found the top corner with a precise right-footed finish from a central position in the box.
- Como did not retreat after conceding. They continued to push forward and build opportunities, but Palmisani repeatedly denied them. Nico Paz went close in the 33rd minute, sending a left-footed effort from outside the area narrowly wide of the right post.
- The home side also had openings to extend their advantage before the interval. Bracaglia tested the Como goalkeeper with a low header, while Raimondo and Schmid had chances of their own.
- Frosinone then delivered the decisive second blow just before half-time. Giorgi Kvernadze finished a swift counter-attack to make it 2-0, giving the hosts a scoreline that reflected their sharpness rather than their overall control of the match.
- Como returned for the second half still looking for a way back. Assane Diao created a major opening for Nico Paz in the 50th minute, but the chance did not produce the goal the Lombard side needed.
- Moise Kean also tried to reduce the deficit with a low strike, while Jesús Rodríguez forced another notable save from Palmisani in the 70th minute with an attempt from distance.
- There was one last frustration in the 86th minute, when Douvikas had a Como goal ruled out. The visitors were left without a reward for their pressure.
A setback after Como’s strong run
The defeat ends a sequence in which Como had won four matches and gone five fixtures without losing. Fàbregas’ team again showed the forward-looking approach that had carried them through that spell, but Frosinone were more clinical when their chances arrived.
Palmisani was the central figure in protecting the result, while Calò and Kvernadze supplied the goals. For Como, it was a reminder that momentum in a long campaign can be interrupted even on an afternoon when the performance contains much of what the coach wants to see.
