Torino waste the chance to reclaim the top - Lazio leave victorious

Torino experienced their first loss of the Serie A season as Lazio returned to winning form with a 3-2 triumph, extending their unbeaten away streak against Torino to six matches.

Motta-ball bears fruit: Vlahovic crushes Genoa with two goals

Matteo Guendouzi opened the scoring with a powerful low shot from the edge of the area, capitalizing on a precise pass from Nuno Tavares. This was Guendouzi's first goal since his last visit to the Stadio Olimpico di Torino, where Lazio inflicted Torino's only home defeat in 16 league games. Torino, eager to surpass city rivals Juventus and claim the top spot for the first time since the 1976/77 season, created few chances in the first half. Their best opportunity came just before the break when Ivan Ilić’s thunderous volley was brilliantly saved by Ivan Provedel.

Lazio, who had lost to Fiorentina in their previous match after conceding two late penalties to Albert Guðmundsson, doubled their lead on the hour mark. Boulaye Dia found the back of the net after a clever nutmeg by Matteo Zaccagni allowed Gustav Isaken's pass to reach the on-loan striker, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner. Torino, unbeaten until this point, quickly responded, with substitute Che Adams reducing the deficit with a precise low shot from outside the box, leaving Provedel no chance.

As the match intensified, Torino's manager Paolo Vanoli was sent off, and Lazio substitute Tijjani Noslin added a third goal shortly after coming on, finishing from close range to seal Torino's fate. Although Saúl Coco netted a spectacular acrobatic goal in stoppage time, it wasn’t enough to prevent Torino’s second straight defeat, following their Coppa Italia exit against Empoli. For Lazio, this win rekindles hopes of pushing for a top-six finish..
