TURIN (ITALPRESS) – It ends 1-1 between Turin and Rome in a postponement decided by the two strikers: Romelu Lukaku opens, Duvan Zapata responds. Compared to the trip to Tiraspol, Mourinho changes formation and five players. Dybala and the Belgian start from the 1st minute, but in the newfound 3-4-2-1 there is also room for El Shaarawy.
The first opportunity, however, is for Torino. In the 5th minute Lazaro crosses into the area, Zapata takes time from Llorente and immediately tests Rui Patricio with his head. The Colombian striker was close to the Giallorossi in the summer before Pinto turned to Lukaku. And in the 9th minute there is the first ring from the former Inter player with a left-footed counter-ball that grazes the post. Overall, however, it was a difficult first half for Lukaku, kept under close surveillance by Buongiorno who won most of the aerial duels. At the beginning of the second half, however, the Belgian surprised the opposing defense, running away to the right and serving Dybala in the center, anticipated at the last minute by Schuurs. Torino responds with Seck who skips Ndicka and makes a cross shot without finding any deviations. In the 58th minute Roma came close to scoring. Spinazzola rewards Cristante’s solitary insertion into the area who touches the ball and hits the Giallorossi’s sixth post of the season.
In the 68th minute, however, Mourinho was able to celebrate. Kristensen (second assist in a row in the championship) touches in the area, Buongiorno’s marking on Lukaku cracks for the first time and the Belgian does not forgive: left-footed shot in precarious balance, Milinkovic-Savic on one side and ball on the other . However, in the 86th minute Toro equalized. Following a free kick from the right, Zapata dives in with his head to make it 1-1. In the finale there is also room for the great ex, Belotti. However, Gallo’s only chance was nipped in the bud by a timely exit from Milinkovic-Savic. Mourinho and Juric settled for a point in the late fifth matchday.
