A defensive gift from Braunoder gives wings to Toro who flies thanks to the will of the Swede Alieu Njie. The striker born in 2005 comes in for Sanabria and scores his first goal in Serie A; and it is a marking that weighs a lot because it allows the granata to beat Como 1-0 and interrupt the streak of three consecutive defeats, all by 3-2, which had brought the granata back down to earth after a superlative start to the championship . Precisely the repeated slips of the team indicate Vanoli to a prudent deployment: 5-3-2, low center of gravity and Como playing the game.
«The match report»
In fact, it is the guests who are much more proactive and it is no coincidence that the first opportunity, after ten minutes, is created by Paz who, from the edge, tries a right-footed shot but grazes Milinkovic’s post. Beyond the men and sides, among the news of the evening stands out the return to the stadium of Urbano Cairo: for the contested president it is the first presence of the season. In the 24th minute, a bad ball was lost by Coco who freed Fadera in the area but Milinkovic came out and foiled the threat. The first half thus ends with Como keeping the ball (70 percent possession) without risking anything and Torino never creating a “real” opportunity to become dangerous.
Njie’s final mockery, Milinkovic’s saves
At the start of the second half, the home team began to push; and if Vojvoda enters on the right for Walukiewicz, it is Lazaro who becomes dangerous as he gallops on the left. Como gets scared and retreats and Toro tries to play the game while the opportunities also arrive: first Ricci, then Goldaniga’s save, finally Lazaro’s header. And Como? He shows up in the quarter of an hour with Strefezza and this time it’s Milinkovic who saves everything. Then Nicom Paz takes the chair; his shot from the edge of the box was deflected for a corner, also with the help of the crossbar, by Milinkovic. Then Njie enters and the game turns on its head: Braunoder makes a mistake in the area, the Swede takes advantage and scores the winning goal. Belotti also enters at the end; his is an appearance of a few minutes amidst the boos of his people and who today are in raptures for the latest fruit of the youth sector, Alieu Njie.
