After a rather slow start, Nikola Vlasic's burst of energy shifts the momentum of the match towards the home side. The game remains quite locked in the second half, but what matters is a crucial result for the standings.

🧨 Vlasic ON FIRE: 1-0 Torino

In the 27th minute, it was Nikola Vlasic who broke the deadlock in a match that had been completely blocked up to that point, confirming his excellent form by scoring his second consecutive goal and fourth overall this season across all competitions.

In the center of the box, after a cross from the left by Lazaro, Zapata and Baschirotto clash; the defender is imprecise and the ball ricochets off the Croatian attacking midfielder’s foot, who brilliantly strikes first-time and surprises Audero at the near post.

🤩 Bonazzoli tries the bicycle kick again: Cremo close to 1-1

Federico Bonazzoli just can't stop attempting bicycle kicks. Already the scorer of 2 goals this season with his signature move (and 5 overall), he came close to a third.

His coordination inside Torino’s penalty area was wonderful, even on a loose ball. The attempt bounced on the ground and was met by a very alert Paleari.

😴 Sleepy second half

The second half dragged on at an even slower pace than the first. The home side limited themselves to protecting their goal and attempting a few rare counterattacks, while the Grigiorossi created very little.

On one hand, there was great news with the return of Giovanni Simeone: "El Cholito" came back from injury and replaced Duvan Zapata in the second half. On the other hand, the only real regret was Moumbagna’s missed goal in the 80th minute, when he failed to find the target with an outstretched leg in front of an open goal.

😱 Simeone scare, but no penalty from VAR

The late scare came from a handball appeal in the box at the 99th minute by Cremonese.

Simeone touched the ball with his arm, but only after it had first hit his chest. After a quick check, VAR did not call the referee to the monitor.
