Antonio Raimondo scored three times on Friday 16 October 2026 and turned a 4-2 win over Sassuolo into a night of club history for Frosinone. It was Frosinone's first Serie A hat-trick and, by the end of the evening, Raimondo had moved to 7 goals in 7 Serie A appearances this season.
Raimondo's record night
Sky Sport Italia described it as a historic evening for Frosinone and said Raimondo became the first player to score a hat-trick for the gialloblù in Serie A. The same report also said he was the new top scorer in the league, although that point is only being carried here on Sky's attribution.
The performance was not just about the final touch. Raimondo's 9.31 rating against Sassuolo backed up the output, and 7 goals in 7 league appearances is the kind of start that changes the way a forward is viewed. He has done it in 577 minutes, which is a heavy return over a relatively small amount of time.
Frosinone's fast start
The broader club story is strong as well. Frosinone are 4th in Serie A with 13 points from 7 matches and a plus-4 goal difference after beating Sassuolo 4-2.
That leaves them inside the early top-four places with a forward who already has the league's attention and a result that carries real weight in the table. The key point is simple enough, Raimondo's hat-trick was a first for the club, and it came in a season where Frosinone have already built a 13-point start.
