“Stuck” in her headquarters Turin and did not stay with just one victory in the first five matches of this year’s Serie A Roma.
Although Jose Mourinho’s team managed to take the lead with his goal Lukaku in the 68th minute of the match, it was tied for the final 1-1 by Duvan Zapata in the 85th minute, failing to follow up on the victories he celebrated against Emboli (7-0) and Sheriff (2-1).
Torino missed the first chance of the game in the 5th minute, with Patricio making a stunning save on Zapata’s header, while the hosts were superior in the first half, with Roma not having a single final shot on target.
Despite Cech’s 52nd-minute strike for Torino, the Giallorossi improved in the second half, with Cristand also scoring in the 58th minute, before Lukaku open the scoring in the 68th minute, after… a pivot move and a beautiful finish. However, the hosts found the answer in the 85th minute, with Ilic taking a free-kick and Zapata to throw himself in the path of the ball, “writing” the final result with a powerful header.
