Frosinone vs Lecce, Raimondo and Birligea keep the scoring surge going

Antonio Raimondo scored his eighth Serie A goal of the season and Daniel Bîrligea came off the bench to score twice as Frosinone beat Lecce 5-1 on 29 October in Frosinone vs Lecce. It was another heavy win in a run that has turned a promotion push into something far more ambitious.

Raimondo's form at the top end

Raimondo's latest goal made him joint Capocannoniere with Monza's Gustavo Varela. He has 8 Serie A goals in 9 appearances, which is a strong return for a newly-promoted side relying on a forward who keeps finding the net in different kinds of matches.

Frosinone have now scored at least four goals in three consecutive matches, and this one followed the 4-4 draw with Atalanta. Sky Sport Italia said it was the third straight match in which M. Alvini's team reached that mark, while Football Italia reported that the win pushed them to sixth place, one point behind Milan. The confirmed standings still have Frosinone seventh on 14 points from 8 matches, so the exact ranking debate stays live, but the broader point does not: this attack is producing like a side with a bigger ceiling than a normal promotion candidate.

Birligea changes the game from the bench

Bîrligea did his damage late. His two goals in 20 minutes finished off a match that had already opened up, and his second stood after VAR confirmed he was level with the ball. He now has 2 Serie A goals in only 3 appearances, a tidy start that gives Frosinone another scorer beyond Raimondo.

The result also lifted the pressure on the idea that this is just a hot spell. Frosinone have 17 league goals in 8 matches, and that volume is why the table conversation has moved beyond simple survival. The gap between a newly-promoted club and the rest of the upper half is usually obvious by late October. Right now, Frosinone are making it harder to draw that line.
