Toro, an equal with many regrets: Pjaca is not enough, punished by the usual Immobile

TURIN. He smelled the scent of the three of a kind, but he has to settle for a tie. The recriminations are all for Torino who up to 90 ‘was beating Lazio with merit, before being recovered on a penalty by the usual Immobile, who reached 8 goals against his former team. It ends 1-1 between the grenades, who took the lead again with Pjaca, and the biancocelesti: at least Juric’s team avoids the mockery of last season, when it was reached and overcome in injury time. A draw, however, which adds another brick to the reconstruction that the new coach is carrying out, which extends the positive moment to three after the victories against Salernitana and Sassuolo.

Toro makes the match prepared in training forcing Lazio on their own half, but in the first half the biggest opportunity comes only on the tail of the fraction. At 42 ‘Sanabria concludes an action that seems to be the replay of the 1-0 against Salernitana, but this time the goal does not arrive. The Paraguayan, who a few minutes earlier had touched the post with a left-footed shot, with his head deflects the beautiful cross of an (increasingly) inspired Aina too centrally and makes Reina look great, who manages to put her hand and deflect in angle. Positive, however, the performance of Belotti’s deputy who shows up even after the interval with another nice elevation that allows him to arrive on Singo’s invitation: but this time the former goalkeeper of Milan and Naples has no problems with intercept the ball.

The goal is what is missing in a challenge of quantity and quality between two teams that face each other openly, with the hosts trying to make the game and for large stretches they succeed, thanks to the high pressure that takes away air at the starts. Sarri’s team (still in the stands due to disqualification). For the biancocelesti the extra man is the usual Immobile: the ex of the challenge at 10 ‘fails to exploit in the best way a busted postponement by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, then at 22’ engages the brother of the Lazio Sergej (who started initially from the bench) with a powerful but central shot.

Lazio’s advantage seems to materialize at the beginning of the second half, but Pedro just entered arrives with a moment’s delay on the low cross of Felipe Anderson, protagonist of the umpteenth acceleration. Toro, stressed by the super job that the Croatian coach asks of him, loses a bit of lucidity with the passing of the minutes and asks for help from the energies of the bench, a move that in previous games has almost always proved to be a winner. At 17 ‘of the restart Ansaldi and Lukic enter for Mandragora and Aina, but the first danger comes from the parts of the goalkeeper of Toro, threatened by a cross shot by his brother Sergej. Lazio raises the center of gravity and Ansaldi tries to punish them: on 24 ‘his powerful left-footer comes out a little, deflected by Lazzari. Juric plays the last chips for the last quarter of an hour with Pjaca and Rincon (outside Brekalo and Linetty). And two minutes from the entrance it is the man who knocked out Sassuolo to pierce Reina with his head, finalizing Singo’s cross in the best possible way. It is the 31st minute: for the grenades it is the fifth goal out of eight from a substitute. The former Juventus player also has the opportunity of the sensational double, but this time Reina makes a feat to neutralize the volley of the grenade. A decisive save seen at 90 ‘Djidji overwhelms Muriqi in the area. And Ciro does not fail.
