Match Report
Torino came from behind to claim a 2-1 Serie A victory over Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, sealed by a sharp four-minute double in the second half. It was the kind of resilient home display their fans had been waiting for.
Sassuolo broke the deadlock when Kristian Thorstvedt slotted home in the 51st minute. Torino hit back with real purpose: Giovanni Simeone headed an equaliser in the 66th minute, set up by Ebosse, before Marcus Pedersen completed the comeback just four minutes later, finishing after Duván Zapata drove down the left flank and cut the ball across. No red cards or penalties featured, though yellow cards flew late as Sassuolo pushed without success for a leveller.
The defeat effectively ends Sassuolo's hopes of a seventh-place finish that could have secured Conference League football. Torino, meanwhile, pocket three precious points and a timely confidence boost as the season enters its final stretch.
