Torino-Genoa 1-0, the Granata win at the last gasp with Radonjic

Turin, 3 September 2023 - Turin won a last-gasp victory during the match valid for the third day of Serie A against Genoa. Granata and rossoblù gave life to a match without emotions, devoid of real scoring opportunities, decided only in the fifth minute of injury time with one of the very few shots towards the goal of the entire match. The joker is decisive Radonijc, which gives the three points to Juric.

The starting lineups

Ivan Juric he chooses the three-man defense for his team Turin. Milinkovic Savic defends the posts of the Granata goal, covered by the rearguard composed of shed, Good morning and Ricardo Rodriguez. In midfield there are Bellanova and Voyvoda on the side lanes, while Ricci and. work in the middle Linetty. Vlasic e Tameze they are the two attacking midfielders, who move behind the new signing, Duvan, who was immediately deployed as the starter footings. Alberto Gilardino he prefers the back four and the Christmas tree formation for the Genoa. Martinez is in goal, Sabelli, Bani, Dragusin e Vasquez make up the defensive line. They are there in midfield Strootman, Badelj and Frendrup, while Malinovskyi e Gudmundsson they line up behind the lone striker Retegui.

First half

The match seems a bit blocked from the first minutes. In the very first bars it is the Genoa to seem more active, with good ball possession and some breakthrough attempts, especially on the left flank. The Turin, however, begins to maintain more possession of the ball as the minutes pass, looking for an opening that doesn't seem to be there. There is a lot of pressing, on both sides, and there is very little space and time to set things up. The emotions are so stingy that the first conclusion only comes in the 29th minute Linetty from very far away, which also shoots when cornering and doesn't scare you in the slightest Martinez, who observes the ball flying abundantly over the crossbar of his own goal. Even in the last quarter of an hour practically nothing happens. The extreme defender of Grifone he is treated for the second time, due to a collision with Bellanova, but returns to the field regularly. Shortly after, at minute 44, Ricci from outside he shoots low and the rossoblù goalkeeper himself blocks without any problem. A truly anonymous and blocked first half ends with a draw.

Second half

The match remains, incredibly enough, flat. Nothing happens, except for a few gusts right at the start of the game Turin, when Bellanova try to turn on to serve footings. The pace is slightly better than in the first half of the game, but the match is broken up between various substitutions and very little emotion. To see a shot attempt you have to wait until minute 77: Ekuban, who came on from the bench, shoots from far away and doesn't cause any worries in the slightest Milinkovic-Savic. Same outcome for a goring of Pilgrims in the 84th minute, which fails to have an impact on the development of a corner kick. Just when the match seemed over, Radonjic resolved it with a personal goal in the 95th minute.
