The visitors opened the scoring in the 35th minute thanks to Che Adams, who converted a chance after an inaccurate ricochet from a Roma defender.
After the break, Roma quickly recovered: already in the 46th minute, Hermoso scored a brilliant goal, taking advantage of Leon Bailey’s pass. However, Torino took the lead again thanks to Adams in the 52nd minute, who scored a brace.
At the end of the meeting, young Antonio Arena, who entered the field only in the 80th minute, made the score 2:2, scoring his first goal in professional football. However, Ilkhan put the dramatic end in the 90th minute: Roma goalkeeper Svilar could not reliably play a corner, and the ball ended up at the feet of the Torino midfielder, who shot into an empty net.
Thus, Torino won an important victory 3:2 and will continue the fight in the Coppa Italia, where its opponent in the quarter-finals will be Inter. Roma leaves the tournament after an emotional but unsuccessful match.
