Torino-Genoa 1-1, Pinamonti equalises Thorsby's own goal. Fiery finale

Turin, 8 February 2025 - A first half that was anything but exciting and rather lacking in emotions ends, in full recovery, with a corner taken by Lazaro which generates a crazy carom that Thorsby he closes, in spite of himself, deflecting the ball into his own goal: the Turin thus finds itself in the lead with minimal effort, trying to close the accounts at the dawn of the recovery. Genoa resists the complicated moment and, also thanks to the moves of Scallop, impacts with Pinamonti, good at sending the assist from the substitute into the net Messiah. Balance reigns supreme until the recovery of the second half. This time too the poison is in the tail but without a goal: the Granata protest for two holdings in the area against Adams e Sanabria, but for the referee Felicians there are no grounds for awarding any penalty and so the match, amidst controversy (an assistant was sent off) vanilla) ends in a draw that leaves both teams in the middle ground of the standings. With the Genoa, who finished with ten men due to an injury Thorsby, obviously more satisfied with the score collected.  

The official lineups

  vanilla choose a 5-4-1 that he sees between the posts Milinkovic-Savic, with Lazaro, Walukiewicz, Maripan, Coco e Soda to compose the defense line and vlasic, Ricci, Tameze e karamoh in midfield: the only striker is instead Adams. Scallop reply with a 4-3-3 open from Wings, protected by Sabelli, Vasquez, Matturro e Martin: they act on the median Thorsby, badelj e frendrup, while in attack it's up to vitinha, Pinamonti e Miretti.  

First half

  A wrong control of Ricci, with subsequent foul on Thorsby, give it to the Genoa a free kick in the offensive zone which however will not generate any dangers in the area of Milinkovic-Savic. In the 7th minute instead Wings must slap a corner into the right from the edge of the box vlasic: Soda he beats from the corner and from the developments the red and blue wall holds up to the various stresses. Just Soda shortly after, at the suggestion of karamoh, tries the conclusion but the outcome is disastrous. The Turin builds well vertically, but Adams is contracted by Vasquez, by fair means or foul, when kicking from the edge of the six-yard box: the ball becomes good for a counterattack led by Thorsby, who however at the most beautiful moment makes a mistake with the back pass to a teammate who isn't there. Not a good approach to the match for Miretti, who first misses a seemingly easy pass for Pinamonti and then he doesn't catch a suggestion from the back. At 26' Maripan he anticipates the visiting attackers and serves Adams, which in turn goes from vlasic, which is challenging Wings in two stages. Shortly after Tameze stops due to an ankle problem: in his place vanilla throw into the fray Gineitis. At 36' Martin he puts in a very dangerous ball aimed at Pinamonti: Ricci closes in a providential corner. Then the duel between vitinha e Soda: in the first case the red and blue number 9 wins, but he serves Thorsby when he was already offside, while in the second the home team's number 24 prevailed, then he was also lucky in the subsequent rebound which he delivered to Milinkovic-Savic the throw-in from the back. At 42' karamoh enters the area and tries a conclusion towards the second post: the power is there, the precision is not. At 44' Ricci search vlasic with a long throw that Wings intercept shortly before the recovery report: 2', to the second of which Thorsby mockery Wings on a corner taken by Lazaro which then becomes a crazy carom in the guest area.

Second half

  Il Turin try to ride the wave of half-time enthusiasm: Adams try to search karamoh, but the rossoblù defense clears. Scallop takes cover and inserts Messiah e Zanoli for vitinha e Miretti. At 53' Lazaro commits Wings with a volley from outside: he then tries again Adams, which receives from vlasic and kicks with power, finding only the outside of the net. It's raining on the wet on Genoa when badelj he stops due to a physical problem: in his place Scallop throw into the fray Masini. The rossoblù, after a period of suffering, begin to pick up the pace and first come close to equalising with Zanoli, who in the 67th minute was the protagonist of a raid into the area that Maripan rejects by sacrificing himself with his body and then finds the1-1 a minute later with Pinamonti, who crosses the right foot on an assist from Messiah (and with a slight deviation of its own Maripan) after the home team's rearguard had messed up a build-up from below. vanilla immediately calls three moves: inside biraghi, Pedersen e Casadei for Soda, Lazaro e karamoh. Nervousness rises following a foul on Gineitis: the yellows fly and the left-footed free kick flies too biraghi, which the visiting defence manages to clear away with difficulty. Scallop replace Pinamonti with Ekuban, that ready, go and has to deal with a major intervention of Maripan, among the best of the Granata rearguard. The rossoblù return to attack and from the developments of a corner, thanks to a so-so exit by Milinkovic-Savic, Zanoli he had a good chance to capitalise from the edge of the area, but the resulting conclusion was a slip that went wide. vanilla the card is played Sanabria for vlasic: stay on the field instead Adams, who seemed to be the chosen one for the change. The Turin try to rely on set pieces to hunt for a new advantage, perhaps still counting on the recovery factor: this time the extra time says 4'. In the 91st minute, in fact, Casadei comes close to the winning header from a corner kick taken by biraghi. At 94' in the rossoblù area they go down first Adams and then Sanabria: for the referee Felicians everything is regular and so the match ends 1-1, with the Genoa who also loses due to injury in the final Thorsby, closing the match with ten men for just a handful of seconds.
