Frosinone Women produced a composed 3-1 home victory over San Marino Calcio Academy Women in Italy-B women’s league action on 25 October 2026, with Giulia Ricci scoring twice and Martina De Santis adding the other.

The win underlined Frosinone’s attacking quality and their ability to control games for long stretches. San Marino Calcio Academy Women competed well and pulled a goal back midway through the second half, but Frosinone restored their advantage quickly and saw out the match with maturity.

Match overview

Frosinone Women started on the front foot, dominating possession and pushing San Marino deep into their own half. The opening goal arrived in the 22nd minute when Giulia Ricci found space at the edge of the box and placed a low shot beyond the goalkeeper. It was a reward for Frosinone’s early control and sharp movement in the final third.

San Marino responded with a more compact defensive shape and tried to threaten on the break. They survived several Frosinone attacks before half-time, but the hosts doubled their lead four minutes after the restart. Martina De Santis timed her run perfectly to meet a cross and finish from close range.

San Marino gave themselves hope in the 66th minute when Chiara Bianchi scored with a well-struck effort from the edge of the area. But Frosinone’s response was immediate. Ricci restored the two-goal cushion in the 74th minute, finishing off a flowing move that cut through the San Marino defence.

Tactical story

Frosinone Women’s midfield dictated the tempo, switching play quickly and creating space for their wide attackers. Their full-backs pushed high, allowing them to pin San Marino back and deliver a steady supply of crosses. The movement of Ricci between the lines was particularly difficult to handle, and it was no coincidence that both of her goals came from intelligent positioning rather than isolated individual brilliance.

San Marino’s best spell came after their goal, when they pressed higher and forced a few nervous moments. But Frosinone’s experience showed in the way they slowed the game down, regained possession and then struck again through Ricci. It was a professional performance rather than a flawless one, but the result was never seriously in doubt after the third goal.

Standout performers

Ricci was the clear player of the match, combining two goals with link-up play that brought others into the game. De Santis also impressed with her movement and composure in front of goal. For San Marino, Bianchi’s goal was a bright moment on a difficult afternoon, and their goalkeeper made several saves to keep the scoreline respectable.

What it means

The three points strengthen Frosinone Women’s position in the Italy-B women’s standings and give them another confidence boost in what is shaping up to be a competitive campaign. San Marino Calcio Academy Women will take encouragement from their second-half response, but they will need to defend more resolutely if they are to turn promising spells into points.
