The match had a great pace throughout, with Torino taking control and pressing after the first quarter. This pressure paid off as “Granata” won a penalty in the 40′ and a minute later Sanabria he converted it into a goal for the home team’s lead (1-0). Ballardini threw Afena-Chan into the match at half-time, with him Chanjut in the 54th minute to equalize the score (1-1) with a perfect placement in the movement, leaving no room for reaction to Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. As if that wasn’t enough, Cremonese turned the game around twenty minutes later with Valerie to catch a crazy one-piece shot that Vania didn’t even get to see for 2-1, amidst furious celebrations!
However, the guests for one more match brought out its classic pathologies and immediately lost its lead. Five minutes later, then, Miranchuk found him Shingo who from an advantageous position equalized at 2-2. The finale of the game saw both teams having their moments and the biggest of them all belonged to Torino with Sanabria, who saw Carnesecchi take it out and the score stay as it was until the referee’s final whistle!
