After the draw with Cagliari, Sarri’s Lazio is once again playing away, this time at Torino’s home ground. For Torino, it’s Roberto D’Aversa’s debut on the bench, having replaced Marco Baroni.
The two teams are experiencing a similar period: three matches without a win, an anonymous position in the standings, and criticism from their supporters. Torino is banking on the surprise effect of their new coach, while Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio is looking for confidence ahead of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Atalanta, scheduled for Wednesday.
🕺 Deadly Simeone: celebrates like Sal Da Vinci
Torino takes the lead in the 21st minute with a chaotic play: Duván Zapata tries a shot from the edge of the box, the ball is deflected and lands perfectly at the feet of Giovanni Simeone.
The “Cholito” gets ahead of Ivan Provedel coming out, while Luca Pellegrini tries in vain to shield the intervention: the deflection is successful and makes it 1-0 for Torino.
Simeone then celebrates with the dance from the song 'Per sempre sì' by Sal Da Vinci, which won the 76th edition of the Sanremo Festival last night.
