Back and forth between Gudmundsson (penalty) and Reinier in the first half: Genoa-Frosinone ends 1-1. This is the second draw in a row for Gilardino’s team who remain calm in the standings at 35 points, while Di Francesco’s men, despite remaining in the relegation zone, take a little breather and catch Empoli in the third last place place. The home team created the first great scoring opportunity of the match in the 10th minute: following a corner, Vasquez headed the ball and hit the crossbar, then on the rebound another header from Sabelli was miraculously saved by Turati.
Close to the half hour mark the home team broke the deadlock: Gudmundsson entered the area and fell after contact with Okoli judged to be a foul by the referee. From the spot the Icelandic striker himself made no mistakes and scored the 1-0. A handful of minutes pass and the Ciociari equalize with Reinier, who hits a first-time right-footed shot in the middle of the area following an assist from Zortea.
In the second half the pace drops and, for over half an hour, the only real inspiration is that in the 68th minute from Messias, who receives from Gudmundsson and tries a left-footed shot from outside that doesn’t pass far from the top corner. In the final, Soule tries for Frosinone, kicking powerfully towards the back. Then, in the middle of injury time, an alleged handball by Thorsby in the area was reported and a penalty was whistled in favor of the Ciociari. However, VAR rightly corrected the decision: it ended 1-1.
