Frosinone got off to a better start, dangerous at the start with Soulé. In the 10th minute it was the Argentine himself who broke the deadlock with a penalty. In the 25th minute Brescianini doubled the lead on the counterattack following an assist from Valeri. In the 38th minute a goal against Vignato was disallowed.
Salernitana has little to ask of its championship, while by obtaining a point or a victory Frosinone would be outside the relegation zone for at least one night. The official lineups have been released, only the opening whistle of the match that will open the 34th day of the championship is missing.
3-5-2 for Mr. Di Francesco, who launches Okoli, Romagnoli and Lirola to protect Turati. Side lanes occupied by Zortea and Valeri, protected in the middle by Mazzitelli, Barrenechea and Brescianini. Only bench for Seck and Reinier, Soulè and Cheddira will play up front. Colantuono responds with the 3-4-2-1. Costil is in goal, defended by Pierozzi, Fazio and Pirola. Coulibaly returns to midfield from suspension, ready to complete the unit with Sambia, Basic and Bradaric. Vignato will join Tchaouna in the attacking midfield, replacing the suspended Candreva. Up front Ikwuemesi is preferred to Weissmann.
THE MATCH
Great atmosphere at the Stirpe for the Frosinone fans who are hoping for three points to relaunch the race for salvation. Salernitana, which is in Serie B if it doesn’t win, doesn’t want to be a sacrificial victim. Soulè dangerous immediately, ball deflected out. In the 8th minute Sambia belts Valeri in the area and the referee awards the penalty: from the spot Soulè displaces Costil, 1-0. The Granata defender was booked on the occasion. In the 24th minute Ciociaro counterattacked and Brescianini struck for the 2-0. Coulibaly tries to make sense of the Ciociaria trip, the ball goes out. Cheddira, always on the restart, was closed at the last minute. Tchaouna controls well but shoots too quickly. Vignato also gives Turati shivers. Yellow also for Pierozzi. Vignato deposits it into the net but is offside. Also Zortea in Fourneau’s notebook. A lively first half ends
