Frosinone stun Como 2-0; Parma overcome Genoa 2-1

Frosinone, back in Serie A this summer, continued their bright start to the campaign by beating Como 2-0 on Sunday in a result that underlined the Ciociari’s defensive resilience and the brilliance of goalkeeper Lorenzo Palmisani. The hosts moved up the early-season table after a performance that frustrated a Como side that had opened the game strongly.

The match was settled before the hour: Giacomo Calò opened the scoring following a swift move down the right and a cross from Roman Schmid, and late in the first half Giorgi Kvernadze finished off a counter to double the lead. In the opening ten minutes Como had two excellent chances through Baturina and Duvikas, but Palmisani produced a string of saves to keep the clean sheet intact.

Parma edge Genoa at Tardini

Earlier on Sunday, Parma claimed a 2-1 home victory over Genoa. "The Milkmen" took the lead when David Romero struck in the 35th minute; Milutin Osmajic levelled about twenty minutes from the end, but Pontus Almqvist restored Parma’s advantage ten minutes later to secure all three points for the hosts.

Frosinone’s coach Massimiliano Alvini will take comfort from a clean sheet and the way his team defended transitions, with Palmisani’s saves repeatedly denying Como attempts to pull back into the game. The result will boost confidence ahead of a busy run of fixtures. ([fbref.com](https://fbref.com/en/players/7059209e/matchlogs/2026-2027/summary/Lorenzo-Palmisani-Match-Logs?utm_source=openai))

For Parma, Almqvist’s late intervention provided a welcome lift and a return to winning ways after earlier mixed results; Genoa, meanwhile, will rue conceding so late after fighting back through Osmajic. Both clubs leave the weekend with points that could prove valuable as the season develops.

The Serie A matchday produced other notable results across the schedule, but the victories for Frosinone and Parma were the headlines for supporters at the Benito Stirpe and the Ennio Tardini on Sunday. ([diretta-seriea.it](https://www.diretta-seriea.it/risultati/giornata-5?utm_source=openai))
