Frosinone hit Fiorentina with two first-half goals and led 2-0 by the 38th minute at the Franchi, turning the home side’s league debut into a difficult night in the middle of centenary celebrations. Antonio Raimondo scored in the 25th minute, then Gabriele Bracaglia finished the job after another set piece to leave Fiorentina chasing the game before halftime.
For supporters searching the match now, the scoreline was the story. Fiorentina had come into the game preparing to open its centenary celebrations at home, but the early edge belonged to the visitors, who were responding after a heavy defeat on Monday at the Olimpico against Roma. Raimondo’s goal was his first in Serie A, and it arrived after Kvernadze supplied the assist. Bracaglia’s strike came from a Calò corner, underlining how quickly Fiorentina’s evening slipped away once Frosinone settled into the match.
That on-field pressure sat beside a separate issue that was impossible to ignore. Moise Kean was still officially in the squad, but he spent the afternoon at Viola Park training alone while the club kept working on possible attacking reinforcements. Fabio Paratici was moving on two names as replacements, with an official offer already presented to Everton for Beto and Fiorentina not intending to go beyond a loan with an option to buy for Zirkwee from Manchester United. That leaves the club in a familiar place: trying to manage the present while deciding how to reshape the attack.
Grosso had said before the match that everything around Kean was still evolving and that the immediate priority was to play well and move the standings, knowing the support behind the team. The rest of Fiorentina’s night was defined by the opposite, with the home debut and centenary opening shadowed by a 2-0 deficit and a transfer situation that was still unresolved. If the club wants the celebration to mean anything, it has to answer the more practical question now: whether a replacement arrives before the gap in attack becomes even harder to fix.
