A Cagliari with great character gets a fundamental victory, the second in the last three days. Torino overturned in four minutes for the 3-2 that is worth the first success in this Serie A for the Domus.
Opportunity for Torino in the 8th minute, ball in for Adams who anticipates Scuffet's exit but sends it wide. In the quarter of an hour Viola wins a free kick on the right, earning Coco a yellow card, and shoots at goal: Milinkovic-Savic puts it out for a corner.
Risk for the rossoblù at 21': cross from the right by Linetty, Adams lays it off and Ricci kicks on the rebound in the center of the area without finding the goal. Shortly after Mina recovers high on Sanabria and with a great right footer puts the ball in the top corner, the referee calls a foul and disallows the goal. Good launch for Piccoli at 25', he protects the ball and kicks with his right foot finding the deflection of the former Walukiewicz in a corner. From the corner, persistent action that ends with a high turn by Luperto on a cross by Luvumbo.
The match was unlocked in the 38th minute: Viola won a free kick from the edge (highly contested by the guests) and kicked powerfully with his left foot, Luvumbo moved and deceived Milinkovic-Savic for 1-0. But three minutes passed and Torino immediately equalized, with a corner from the right by Lazaro for a header in the center of the area by Sanabria. He dedicated the goal to the injured Zapata.
In the second half, Marin immediately, Luvumbo comes out. Two minutes and Zappa finds Piccoli in the area, header high. On the following action Viola freed in front of the goalkeeper by Piccoli and Milinkovic-Savic blocks him in the corner. Cagliari very proactive and still close to scoring at 51', cross from the left good for Adopo whose shot is wide. But at 55' Torino takes the lead: terrifying shot by Linetty from 20 meters, unstoppable for Scuffet.
In Gaetano, Lapadula and Palomino, out Adopo (just booked), Viola and Mina (not at their best) all together in the 63rd minute. But it is Torino who become dangerous with a powerful free kick from Coco from distance (70') that Scuffet lifts over the crossbar. Cagliari are back with a melee in the area on a corner and a double deflection that prevents the ball from ending up in the goal. But from the following corner, Luperto's pass finds the other centre-back Palomino, who heads it to make it 2-2.
The momentum has changed and in four minutes Cagliari has overturned the result: in the 78th minute a great ball from Gaetano to Piccoli, who moves to the right and crosses with Coco's deflection into his own goal for the overtaking. Torino reacts in the 87th minute with an incursion into the area by Adams, with the decisive intervention of the last player to enter Deiola. Torino besieges in injury time and in the 92nd minute Scuffet is decisive on a header from Adams, then Sanabria's shot wide is the last chance before the celebration of the 16,265 at the Domus.
