Looking back, Torres's 1-1 draw in Sestri Levante against Bra is a decent match overall. Suffice it to say that the Rossoblu created four times as many chances, with four shots on target and two penalties missed, while the Piedmontese team only found the target once. Coach Pazienza was therefore right when he stated, "The draw doesn't satisfy us for what we achieved in 95 minutes."

The penalty not awarded in injury time for a clear handball by Maressa, who had his left arm fully raised on Scheffer's cross, remains inexplicable. And yet, the referee, Mazzer of Conegliano, even reviewed the image under VAR, which had convinced him half an hour earlier to disallow Torres's penalty and Chiesa's red card for holding Musso.

While Pazienza's team is still lagging behind in terms of chemistry, a rejuvenated and revitalized squad, it's worth noting that with just two more points today, Torres would be sixth in the standings. This is perfectly in line with the club's objectives.
