Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Serie A fixture between Frosinone and Inter.
After picking up four points in eight games across February and March, Frosinone have won their last two consecutively for the first time in Serie A, but this hasn’t stopped them slipping into the relegation zone. They’re now eight points away from safety, hoping to trouble an Inter side who won their last away game 4-0 in Genoa. For I Nerazzurri, this is their chance to move five points clear of AC Milan and cement their spot in the top four.
FROSINONE XI (3-5-2): Marco Sportiello; Lorenzo Ariaudo, Marco Capuano, Edoardo Goldaniga; Luca Paganini, Raman Chibsah, Francesco Cassata, Luca Valzania, Andrea Beghetto; Andrea Pinamonti, Daniel Ciofani.
SUBS: Camillo Ciano, Raffaele Maiello, Mirko Gori, Francesco Bardi, Luka Krajnc, Nicolo Brighenti, Cristian Molinaro, Federico Dionisi, Francesco Zampano, Marcello Trotta, Paolo Sammarco, Stefan Simic.
INTER XI (4-2-3-1): Samir Handanovic; Danilo D’Ambrosio, Stefan de Vrij, Milan Skriniar, Kwadwo Asamoah; Matias Vecino, Radja Nainggolan; Matteo Politano, Borja Valero, Ivan Perisic; Mauro Icardi.
SUBS: Andrea Ranocchia, Daniele Padelli, Cedric Soares, Joao Mario, Antonio Candreva, Dalbert, Keita Balde Diao, Lautaro Martinez, Miranda, Roberto Gagliardini.
The teams are on their way out and kick-off is imminent.
Well, that was exciting! Inter stormed into a 2-0 lead at half-time through a headed goal from Nainggolan and a Perisic penalty and they seemed to be cruising to an easy three points. Frosinone had something to say about that, however, and Cassata pulled a goal back in the 61st minute, though Handanovic got a hand to it and perhaps could have prevented it. Momentum shifted and Frosinone pushed for an equaliser - Ciano curling a free-kick just wide - but it left them exposed at the back and Vecino capitalised in added time with a low finish into the corner to secure all three points.
That's all from Inter's 3-1 away victory at Frosinone. Thank you and goodbye!
Frosinone's Serie A future isn't looking bright following this result and they remain 19th, eight points away from safety with games against Cagliari and Napoli up next. For Inter, this may have been the result to secure Champions League football next season as they move six points clear of Roma in fifth with I Giallorossi next in the league.
