18 April 2021 Torino beat Roma 3-1 in comeback and prop up a ranking that saw him too close to the relegation zone.
For the Giallorossi now the Champions zone is 8 points away, the Europa League road remains to get a place 'extra league'.
Verdi attacking midfielder behind Sanabria and Belotti for Nicola. Borja Mayoral offensive summit supported by Pedro and Carles Perez, Fonseca leaves Mkhitaryan and Dzeko on the bench (Pellegrini is disqualified). Ready away and Roma unlocks it with Mayoral receiving Pedro's heel in the 3 '. Torino throws themselves into the attack and the match takes on a precise conformation: grenade under pressure, Giallorossi on the counterattack. Belotti does not frame the target on Ansaldi's cross. Then the winger forces Mirante to be rejected, Lukic misses a penalty in motion. Mandragora literally closes the door to Pedro who was finalizing a perfect restart. Mirante is careful on Ansaldi (a poisonous conclusion) and above all on Lukic, who snatches Pedro a ball managed lightly in the open area. Belotti is seen a lot, but he is unable to record.Roma are not 'bad' in counterattacks that could dig the furrow.
Mkhitaryan in place of Pedro, Roma begins the recovery with greater control of the game. Ibanez stands out on Veretout's free-kick, out of a whisker. Torino, in greater difficulty, finds the opportunity to equalize: in the 57th minute Ansaldi crosses and Sanabria climbs in the third time to gore the net. Nicola replaces Vojvoda with Singo, Fonseca alternates Veretout with Diawara. The race remains vibrant, although confusion on both fronts increases. The turning point in the 71st minute: Nicola sent Zaza into the field (for Sanabria), as well as Rincon (for Lukic). The attacker just takes a few seconds to register on the scoreboard: Belotti defends the ball and kicks, Mirante rejects Zaza right on the current who completes the comeback. Immediately inside Dzeko and Karsdorp (for Mayoral and Reynolds), Fonseca is forced to chase the result.Mirante keeps his parents afloat with an excellent intervention on Mandragora's blow. On a corner Dzeko heads not enough to head between the posts. At 85 'Diawara remedies the second yellow and leaves his team in ten. Torino took advantage of it and rounded up in the 92nd minute with Rincon all alone on Belotti's assist.
