The hosts, Juve Stabia, kicked off the match hoping to bounce back from recent setbacks, and they struck first through their star striker Adorante.

This return to form provided Juve Stabia with early momentum as they took the lead against Frosinone.
Despite going behind, Frosinone exhibited resilience, dominating possession and creating multiple chances to level the score. Their efforts were hindered, though, not just by their opponents but also by the referee’s decisions, leading to coach Leandro Greco being sent off for protests just before half-time.
The second half saw Frosinone press for equalization with increased intensity. Their persistence paid off when, after 27 minutes of the trailing half, Partipilo received the ball following a misplay from Juve Stabia’s Piscopo. He executed a quick combination with Ambrosino before finishing neatly to score, bringing the game back to level terms.

His player, Anthony Partipilo, reinforced the team's focus, affirming, "Sapevamo che giocare qui sarebbe stato molto difficile... Alla fine il pareggio è il risultato più giusto." This sentiment highlighted the team's commitment to building momentum for the remainder of the season as they work to solidify their place and aim for safety within the league.
