TURIN (ITALPRESS) – Third consecutive home victory for Torino which overcomes with the minimum difference, but with merit, an Empoli who disappointed overall because they were not able to trigger their strikers and, on the only occasion in which the ‘he did, Cancellieri literally devoured the equaliser. The Granata scored with Zapata and came close to scoring on a couple of other occasions, ultimately legitimizing the final 1-0.
Torino starts at one hundred an hour. Berisha does not control the ball which ends up in the corner. On the corner melee in the Tuscan area, Buongiorno shoots very high. The grenades insist. Zapata flies to the left, crosses to the center but Berisha closes on Sanabria (6′). Shortly after, Vlasic’s sprint to the left allows Sanabria to score with an overhead kick: the goal is a gem but Vlasic was offside and the goal was canceled out immediately. Empoli increases the pressure up to the Torino penalty area, then Sanabria feeds Bellanova who crosses to Zapata, header and ball into the goal: 1-0. Empoli reacts immediately. From a corner action Luperto finds Ebuehi (30′) who anticipates everyone and puts it in. The VAR reports another offside and everything remains as it is. A goal disallowed for Cacace, again due to offside, in the 43rd minute, then Sanabria lifts for Linetty’s volley: high ball but applause from the Olimpico. In the second half Empoli seemed to have more courage, the equalizer came in the 17th minute when Destro, with his head, sent Cancellieri into space, the Azzurri attacker, in front of Milinkovic-Savic, did not shoot but widened allowing the Granata goalkeeper to save your door. The game is not exciting and the breaks are frequent. In the final, Empoli tries to speed up the pace but there are no opportunities so Toro can take the three points.
