😱 Fiorentina slump v Frosinone: Raimondo gets two, defence and De Gea 👎 | OneFootball

Yet another hugely embarrassing showing from Fiorentina, who, despite a pharaonic transfer window and on the very day of their 100th anniversary celebrations, once again laid bare all the flaws already seen last season, especially defensively.

La Viola collapsed in front of their own fans and conceded three goals against Frosinone, inspired by Antonio Raimondo. At the final whistle, loud boos rang out from the stands at the Franchi, while Alvini and his men celebrated a beautiful and fully deserved win.

😱 Dragusin hits Monterisi: referee and VAR do not intervene

MINUTE 6 - A clash in the box between Monterisi and Dragusin, with the Frosinone defender getting back up after the contact. Right after that, Dragusin strikes the yellow-and-blue player, but the referee lets play continue and there is no intervention from the VAR room.

A decision in line with the new guidelines from refereeing chief Daniele Orsato, who replaced Gianluca Rocchi, which call for a higher VAR intervention threshold on this kind of contact.

🟨 Sparks between Jimenez and Bracaglia: was yellow too lenient for the Viola man?

MINUTE 23 - Tensions flare after Bracaglia pulls back Jimenez. The Fiorentina player reacts first with a slap and then with a more obvious swing of the arm toward his opponent.

Immediate intervention is needed to separate the two players and stop the situation from escalating. The referee steps in by showing yellow to both: Bracaglia for the pull, Jimenez for the reaction. Was a yellow card alone the right call for the former Milan man?

⚽ Raimondo in SHOWMAN mode: he bags two!

MINUTES 27 and 68 - Fiorentina continue to show clear defensive problems, after those already on display at the Olimpico last Monday against Roma: Antonio Raimondo, born in 2004, takes advantage to score his first Serie A goals.

Just before the half-hour mark, Kvernadze tears down the left, gets into the box and from the byline plays a perfect ball to Raimondo. Surrounded by three defenders and from close range, the striker shoots at the near post: De Gea is caught off guard and can only get a touch on it without preventing the goal.

After the hour mark comes a masterpiece from the Ciociari’s number 9. Bracaglia picks out Raimondo in the box, who gets ahead of teammate Zerbin, controls magnificently with his chest and unleashes a perfect left-footed strike that gives De Gea no chance. A brilliant piece of play, one on which the goalkeeper perhaps could have done a bit more, but it seals his personal brace and makes it 3-0 to Frosinone. VAR checks the striker’s position and confirms the goal: everything is regular. Fiorentina on their knees at the Franchi.

⚽ First joy for Bracaglia too

MINUTE 38 - In Fiorentina’s best spell, when they were trying to draw level, Frosinone struck again and found their second goal. From a free-kick taken by Calò, Bracaglia loses Atta and rises highest to head the ball into the net. And so the most classic law of football comes to life: miss a chance, concede a goal.
