Atalanta and Frosinone play out a thrilling 4-4 draw
Nikola Krstovic and Jonathan Schmid both netted braces in an eight-goal spectacle in Serie A.
In a high-scoring Serie A spectacle, Atalanta and Frosinone played out a pulsating 4-4 draw. The match was defined by constant shifts in momentum, with both sides finding the back of the net repeatedly throughout the 90 minutes.
The visitors stunned the hosts inside the first minute, as Jonathan Schmid opened the scoring following a defensive lapse. Nikola Krstovic quickly leveled, but Schmid restored Frosinone's lead shortly after. Before the interval, Ederson converted a penalty after a VAR review for a handball by Cittadini, and Krstovic struck again to give Atalanta a 3-2 lead heading into the break.
The second half picked up where the first left off, with Giacomo Calò equalizing for the visitors before Elif Elmas regained the lead for Atalanta just two minutes later. The final twist came in the 82nd minute when Aleksa Terzic converted a cross from Ghedjemis to seal the 4-4 draw.
The result highlights both the attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities of the two sides on a day where tactical structure seemed to take a backseat to pure offensive intensity.
