Frosinone Overpowers Cesena with Second-Half Blitz: 3-1 Victory at Stadio Benito Stirpe

Frosinone extended their dominance atop Serie B with a resounding 3-1 victory over Cesena on Tuesday night, courtesy of a clinical second-half display that left the visitors reeling at Stadio Benito Stirpe. After a tense, goalless first half, the match erupted into life with three Frosinone goals in under ten minutes, a sequence that decisively shaped the outcome and reaffirmed the hosts’ credentials as promotion favorites.

The breakthrough arrived just two minutes after the interval. A well-weighted free kick from Gennaro Calò found chaos in the box, and Antonio Raimondo pounced from close range, steering home the opener to ignite the home crowd. Four minutes later, Raimondo was at it again. This time, he rose highest at the near post to nod in Calò’s corner, doubling Frosinone’s lead and putting Cesena on the back foot.

Cesena, shell-shocked by the quickfire double, struggled to regroup. Their defense was breached again in the 56th minute, as Farès Ghedjemis capped a swift counterattack led by B. L. Kone, cutting inside and firing past Klinsmann with the aid of a slight deflection off Adamo. The third goal marked the culmination of Frosinone's attacking momentum, turning the contest into a showcase of their quality in transition and set pieces.

To their credit, Cesena clawed back some pride in the 76th minute. Riccardo Ciervo capitalized on a loose ball in the box following a scramble, slotting home from close range after Castagnetti’s initial effort was blocked and inadvertently assisted by Shpendi. But by then, the result was beyond doubt.

Key moments punctuated the contest, including a near-miss from Bracaglia—who struck the post for Frosinone—and a pair of crucial first-half saves from Klinsmann that kept Cesena alive before the interval. Kvernadze, operating on the left flank, was a constant threat, repeatedly stretching the Cesena defense and earning plaudits as one of the match’s standout performers.

With this win, Frosinone solidifies its position at the top of the table, while Cesena, who arrived as fifth-placed challengers, must regroup after being undone by a ruthless spell early in the second half. The match showcased Frosinone’s depth and attacking precision, with Raimondo’s brace and Ghedjemis’ strike underscoring their ambitions for Serie A football next season.

For Cesena, the road ahead demands defensive adjustments and renewed focus, as they look to maintain their playoff push in the fiercely competitive Serie B landscape. Frosinone, meanwhile, march on with confidence, their sights set firmly on the summit.
