Antonio Raimondo, Frosinone's 22-year-old forward, scored twice as the ciociari beat Venezia 3-2, with Saba Kvernadze adding the decisive third goal to complete a result that swung sharply in both directions before Massimiliano Alvini's side held firm.
The match itself tells only part of the story. Frosinone led 2-0, were pegged back to 2-2, then found a winner through Kvernadze — a sequence that tested character as much as quality. That Raimondo was at the centre of the early advantage matters: a forward who can build a lead gives his team something to defend, and in a match this volatile, that currency proved real.
What the season numbers reveal is consistency rather than a single hot performance. Four goals across three Serie A appearances, at an average rating of 7.89, is not the profile of a player riding a lucky streak. Frosinone sit seventh with six points from three matches — two wins, one defeat — and Raimondo has contributed directly to four of the six goals scored. His Coppa Italia numbers, one goal and one assist in one match for a different club, add further evidence of a player in productive form across competitions, though those figures belong to a separate context and should not be folded into his Serie A account.
His AI overall of 75 out of 100, with a potential of 82, suggests the analytical models see room for growth beyond what he has already demonstrated. At 22, with this kind of early-season output, the gap between current rating and ceiling looks less like a ceiling and more like a direction of travel.
Frosinone's next challenge will test whether Alvini can maintain this momentum, but the more immediate question is whether Raimondo can sustain a scoring rate that, if it continues, will make him one of the harder names to ignore in Serie A this autumn.
