Torino secured a 2-0 home victory against Lazio in a match counting for the 27th round of Serie A. Thus, the Bulls broke a negative streak of four games without a win in all competitions, right on the debut of their new coach, Roberto D’Aversa. The Turin team was the more persistent during the first half, and this paid off in the 21st minute when a blocked shot from Duván Zapata turned into an assist for Giovanni Simeone, whose shot was not intercepted in time by Provstgaard, resulting in 1-0. The second goal came in the 53rd minute, with Zapata successfully heading in after a cross from Rafael Obrador, who is on loan from Benfica. Only after that did the visitors take the initiative, but the pressure did not change the outcome of the match. With this result, Torino accumulated 30 points and climbed to 14th place. Lazio occupies 10th place with 34 points, after their fourth consecutive game without a win in the league.
