In the 17th minute, Jorge Kvernadze received a cross from his teammate in front of the goal and chipped the ball into the net, but VAR review confirmed he was offside.

In the 22nd minute, Muriqui's long ball found Berardi in the attacking third, and Berardi's shot from a tight angle after breaking into the box was blocked by Lorenzo Palmisani. In the 25th minute, Bacola broke through to the box and fired a low shot, which was also caught by Palmisani.

In the 26th minute, Carlo delivered a cross from the attacking third, and Antonio Raimondo slotted home to extend the lead.

In the 37th minute, Sebastiano Esposito played a through ball to Cristian Solzvest, who broke into the box and slotted home to narrow the gap. At halftime, Frosinone and Sassuolo were tied 3-2.

After the break, the Canaries immediately launched an attack on Sassuolo upon entering the game. In the 57th minute, they further extended their lead: Kvernaze delivered a lobbed pass from the attacking third, and Guedemis' header inside the penalty area was saved by Muriqui.
