Salernitana is mathematically relegated to Serie B, the defeat at Frosinone leaves no escape for Colantuono’s men. Eusebio Di Francesco’s team went on the attack and earned a penalty after 9 minutes, which was then converted by Soulé. The second goal came midway through the first half with Brescianini assisted by Valeri, but the guests remained in the game, creating several dangerous situations, including two disallowed goals. In the final Zortea closes the score on the counterattack and makes the Stirpe explode.

The social moment
MVP
Emanuele VALERI: he suffers the penalty foul that unlocks the game, shortly after he produces a perfect assist for Brescianini’s second. He constantly rages on the left flank, a decisive factor for Frosinone’s victory.
Fantasy football
Promoted – Marco BRESCIANINI: one of the most enterprising in his team’s good first half. He always accompanies the offensive action and is ready for Valeri’s ball which earns him the 2-0 goal.
Failed – Junior SAMBIA: naively causes the foul which sends the opponents from the spot after 10 minutes. Very uncertain in the defensive zone, he struggled to contain Valeri and made several technical errors.
Allegri: “Criticism must always be accepted, because the results count”
