After the draw with Cagliari, Sarri's Lazio is on the road again, this time at Torino's home. On the granata bench, it's the debut for Roberto D'Aversa, who has replaced Marco Baroni.
Both teams are experiencing a similar moment: three games without victories, an unremarkable standing, and criticism from their surroundings. Torino is banking on the surprise effect of the new coach, while Maurizio Sarri's Lazio is seeking confidence, also in view of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Atalanta, scheduled for Wednesday.
🕺 Simeone LETHAL: celebrates like Sal Da Vinci
Torino takes the lead in the 21st minute with a chaotic play: Duván Zapata attempts a shot from the edge, the ball is deflected and lands perfectly at the feet of Giovanni Simeone.
The “Cholito” anticipates Ivan Provedel's move, while Provstgaard tries in vain to protect the intervention: the deflection is successful and gives Torino a 1-0 lead.
Simeone then celebrates with the dance from the song 'Per sempre sì' by Sal Da Vinci, which won last night at the 76th edition of the Sanremo Festival.
