Frosinone goalkeeper Lorenzo Palmisani kept his side in contention on Saturday as the Ciociari drew 1-1 away against Genoa, a result that lifted Massimiliano Alvini's side to seventh in Serie A with seven points from four matches.
The draw matters because it consolidates a promising early-season position without surrendering ground. Frosinone have won two, drawn one, and lost one — conceding just four goals across those four games. For a 22-year-old goalkeeper still establishing himself at this level, that defensive record is the most meaningful context around his numbers.
Kvernadze gave Frosinone the lead, and the visitors held it despite Genoa being awarded the first penalty of the Serie A season. Lorenzo Colombo stepped up and missed, a moment that kept Palmisani's sheet intact at that point. Vasquez eventually equalised for the hosts, but the damage was contained. Palmisani's average rating across his four Serie A appearances this season sits at 6.76 — a figure that reflects consistent, unspectacular reliability rather than the kind of individual heroism that inflates short-term scores. Tuttosport's match ratings described him as decisive, which aligns with the broader picture: a goalkeeper who does not concede the game before his outfield colleagues can decide it.
The AI assessment places Palmisani at an overall of 63 out of 100, with a potential of 75. That gap is the most instructive number attached to him right now. He is not yet the finished article, but the ceiling is credible, and the early-season evidence — four clean-sheet-adjacent performances in a side that has scored seven and conceded four — suggests the trajectory is pointing in the right direction.
Alvini's Frosinone are not a side built to dominate possession or manufacture chances in volume. They need their goalkeeper to be a reliable last line, and through four rounds Palmisani has been exactly that. The Genoa draw, penalty miss and all, was the kind of away point that tests a young goalkeeper's composure as much as his reflexes. He passed.
If Frosinone are to sustain a push into the upper half of the table, Palmisani's continued solidity will be as important as any attacking contribution. Seven points from four games is a foundation worth protecting.
