A time each and a fair equal for Turin and Salerno, who stop at 1-1 in the match of the 30th day of Serie A. The start is from the Campania region, who push and find the opening goal in the 9th minute with the paw of Vilhena. Juric dares by inserting Vlasic in the two midfielders and his Toro finds the equalizer in the 57th minute, with a pocket from Miranchuk and the ninth goal of the season from Sanabria. Thus comes a precious point for both teams.
THE MATCH
Turin and Salerno they didn’t get hurt, stopping at 1-1 in a match with two faces, with the first half in favor of the Campania players and the second half marked by the attack on the Bull.

REPORT CARDS
Radonjic 6.5 – The best of Turin for posting. He regularly breaks through in the left lane, dribbling and trying to inspire him with acrobatic actions. In the final he even touches the 2-1.
Vlasic 6.5 – After having deployed him as a centre-forward in some matches, Juric is now testing him as a central midfielder in an attempt to comeback. He reacts perfectly, showing unexpected qualities of interdiction.
Ochoa 6.5 – This time he doesn’t work overtime, but he still stamps Salernitana’s point. His boxing gloves prevented Radonjic’s 2-1 and an unthinkable defeat after the first half.
Travel 5.5 – It’s probably his first bad day since playing in Serie A. Never in the heat of the game, not even in the first half. Unlike Piątek, he doesn’t affect the match.
