While River wait: Cholito Simeone keeps scoring, Torino win | OneFootball

Keep celebrating. River has him in its sights, and Giovanni Simeone scored again. This Friday, the Argentine striker, son of Diego “Cholo” Simeone, made it 1-1 in Torino’s comeback win, as they beat Sassuolo 2-1 at home on Matchday 36 of the 2025/26 Serie A.

Norwegian midfielder Kristian Thorstvedt had given the visitors the lead six minutes into the second half. But in the 21st minute, Gio Simeone stepped up, once again showing his eye for goal in Italy’s Serie A. The 30-year-old Argentine, targeted by Eduardo Coudet for River, led Torino’s attack and scored with a header after a precise cross from Cameroon’s Enzo Ebosse.

That brought the home side level, and four minutes after the Albiceleste forward’s goal, Norway’s Marcus Pedersen, off the bench, struck to make it 2-1 for good.

With this latest goal against Sassuolo, Gio Simeone reached 11 goals in 30 matches during the 2025/26 season. His performances are keeping Torino afloat and fueling rumors of a possible big-money move in the next transfer window.

Torino thus won again after three straight matches without a victory. Their best result in that stretch had been a 2-2 home draw against Inter, who went on to be crowned champions, deservedly winning the “Scudetto.”

Torino remain in mid-table, and this win brought them closer to Sassuolo, the side they beat, although they are still five points behind them.
