Frosinone continued their remarkable start to the Serie A season with a convincing 5-1 victory over Lecce at the Stadio Benito Stirpe on Thursday. Massimiliano Alvini’s side scored five times to climb to sixth in the standings, moving within one point of fifth-placed AC Milan.

The hosts took the lead in the 25th minute when Matteo Cichella finished from inside the penalty area following a pass from Farès Ghedjemis. Frosinone doubled their advantage just before half-time, with Giacomo Calò converting a penalty after Giorgi Kvernadze was brought down in the box.

Antonio Raimondo made it 3-0 in the 59th minute after combining with Kvernadze, who supplied the decisive pass. Daniel Birligea then extended the lead in the 72nd minute, finishing after a well-timed ball from Romano Schmid.

Lecce managed to pull one goal back in the 82nd minute through Joel Monteiro, who finished into the far corner after the visitors won possession in midfield. However, Frosinone had the final say in stoppage time as Birligea scored his second of the evening following another assist from Kvernadze.

The result extended Frosinone’s impressive run, with the newly promoted side continuing to challenge the established Serie A clubs. Lecce, meanwhile, remained on nine points after suffering another damaging defeat.
