Frosinone met Benevento in a Club Friendlies fixture on Thursday, winning 2-1 at their home ground. G. Cittadini and G. Calo opened the scoring before S. Verdi pulled one back for the visitors, but the hosts held on for the result.
And here's the thing — the opening goal came early, in the ninth minute, when Cittadini found the net. That set the tempo for the first half, and Calo doubled the lead before the interval in the thirty-fourth minute.
To be fair, Benevento responded well after the break. Verdi scored in the fifty-seventh minute, and almost immediately Frosinone brought on E. Pierozzi in the fifty-eighth. The visitors then added M. Maita in the sixty-ninth, looking to chase the game.
Frosinone's recent form suggests they were comfortable going forward. They beat Como 2-0 and Fiorentina 3-0 in their last five, with draws against Genoa and Sassuolo rounding out the record. Benevento had mixed results — a 3-1 win over Verona but a 1-2 loss to Modena.
By then, the match had settled into a familiar pattern for friendlies. Three or four moments decided it, and the rest was background. The scoreline tells you everything — two from the hosts, one for the visitors, and no drama after that.
