Frosinone saw off Juventus Stabia 4:1 in the Round of 64 of the Coppa Italia on Saturday, progressing to the next stage of Italy's domestic cup competition. The hosts took control early and never looked back, with Giorgi Kvernadze opening the scoring inside the opening quarter-hour.
Kvernadze struck in the 20th minute to give Frosinone the lead, and here's the thing — the match shifted direction after that. Matteo Cichella doubled the advantage in the 28th, before Antonio Raimondo added a third just before the interval. Juventus Stabia pulled one back through Leonardo Candellone in the 48th, but the damage had been done.
By then, Frosinone had already established control. Kvernadze made it four in the 71st, and Saná Fernandes' red card in the 89th left the visitors chasing shadows they'd never catch. Four goals from seven shots on target tells you everything about the efficiency on show.
The statistics paint a clear picture. Frosinone enjoyed 54% possession and created seven big chances compared to zero for their opponents. They registered 2.65 expected goals against 1.51, a gap that reflected the quality of opportunities rather than mere volume. Juventus Stabia managed just two goalkeeper saves, while Frosinone's keeper made six.
The hosts made four changes during the second half, with Matteo Cichella and Kevin Piscopo both coming off in the 67th. Giacomo Calò replaced Giulio Scuderi in the 77th, and Nicola Patanè came on for the final period. Three yellow cards for the visitors — Piscopo, Scuderi, and Baldi — versus one for the hosts showed the difference in discipline.
It was a convincing result for Frosinone, who had lost 1:2 to Lazio last weekend but bounced back with this comfortable victory. Juventus Stabia, meanwhile, could only manage a single win from five matches this season, and this defeat will do little to ease their concerns.
