The first half between Frosinone and Cagliari ends 1-1, with the rossoblùs ahead with Luvumbo and recovered from the leaders thanks to a flicker from Rohden.
Liverani surprises again. In defence, Altare and an unedited central duo are off, with Capradossi and Obert, while Di Pardo and Carboni are on the wing. In the middle, Viola is joined by Nandez and Rog, while, on the frontline, Kourfalidis makes his season debut, supporting Lapadula and Luvumbo. The Angolan is starting off on the right foot. First (4') he commits Turati for a corner, then (14') he hits: Carboni throws, Luvumbo burns the home centre-backs, goes around Turati and puts in the first goal conceded by Frosinone to the “Stirpe”.
Cagliari seems to be satisfied and gives way to Grosso's team. Radunovic keeps a good watch on the anything but irresistible shots of Sampirisi and Boloca. But in the 32nd minute Carboni's defensive error on Garritano's pass and Rohden makes it 1-1. In the 38th minute Cagliari were pardoned by Moro who, all alone in front of Radunovic, put up. The first half didn't offer any more emotions and the teams went into the break on equal footing.
