😱 Fiorentina collapse v Frosinone: Raimondo bags two, defence and De Gea 👎 Yet another hugely embarrassing showing for Fiorentina who, despite a lavish transfer market and on the very day of the club’s 100th-anniversary celebrations, once again laid bare all the shortcomings already seen last season, especially defensively.

Immediately afterwards, Dragusin strikes the yellow-and-blue player, but the referee lets play continue and there is no intervention from the VAR room. A decision in line with the new guidelines from refereeing chief Daniele Orsato, who replaced Gianluca Rocchi, which call for a higher VAR intervention threshold on this kind of contact. 🟨 Sparks between Jimenez and Bracaglia: was yellow too lenient for the Viola player? MINUTE 23 - Tensions flare after Bracaglia pulls back Jimenez. The Fiorentina player reacts first with a slap and then with a more obvious swing of the arm at his opponent. Immediate intervention is needed to separate the two players and stop the situation from escalating. The referee steps in by showing yellow to both: Bracaglia for the pull, Jimenez for the reaction. Was a yellow card for the former Milan man really enough? ⚽ Raimondo in SHOWMAN mode: he gets two! MINUTES 27 and 68 - Fiorentina continue to show obvious defensive problems, after those already on display at the Olimpico last Monday against Roma: Antonio Raimondo, born in 2004, takes full advantage to score his first Serie A goals. Just before the half-hour mark, Kvernadze tears down the left, drives into the box and from the byline squares a perfect ball for Raimondo. Surrounded by three defenders and from close range, the striker fires at the near post: De Gea is caught unprepared and can only get a touch without preventing the goal. After the hour mark comes a masterpiece from the Ciociari’s number 9. Bracaglia picks out Raimondo in the box, who gets ahead of teammate Zerbin, controls superbly with his chest and unleashes a perfect left-footed strike that gives De Gea no chance. A wonderful piece of play, one where the goalkeeper might have done a little better, but it brings Raimondo his personal brace and makes it 3-0 to Frosinone. VAR checks the striker’s position and confirms the goal: everything is regular. Fiorentina are on their knees at the Franchi. ⚽ First joy for Bracaglia too MINUTE 38 - In Fiorentina’s best spell, when they were trying to get back level, Frosinone struck again and doubled their lead. From Calò’s free-kick, Bracaglia times his run better than Atta and rises highest to head the ball into the net. And so the most classic law of football takes shape: miss a chance, concede a goal.
