Torino-Hellas Verona 0-0, boredom wins: the scoreboard

Turin, 2 October 2023 -  Turin ed Greece Verona they shared the stakes, in the postponement of 18 pm Serie A. At the Olimpico Grande Torino stadium the yawns largely doubled the scoring opportunities, in a match truly lacking in emotion. Great competitive spirit on both sides, but few shots on goal and zero goals between the Granata and Scaligeri.

The starting lineups

Let it be Ivan Juric that Marco Baroni they choose 3-4-2-1 as their starting formation. The Turin Milinkovic Savic lines up between the posts, assisted by Schuurs, Sazonov and Rodriguez in the three-man rearguard. Soppy and Lazaro are the two full-field wingers, while Ricci and Ilic work centrally. Seck and Radonjic are the two attacking midfielders supporting the lone striker Zapata. On the other side the Hellas Verona sees Montipò in goal and Dawidowicz, Magnani and Amione in defense. Terracciano and Lazovic are the two wingers, on the right and left flanks respectively, and Folorunsho and Suslov are the two central midfielders. Duda and Ngonge move behind Cruz.

First half

Ready, go and Torino immediately becomes dangerous. The home team went on the attack during the first minute of the game: Seck runs the ball down the right wing, breaks free inside the penalty area and finishes strongly at the near post; covers the area well Montipo, which saves a Greece Verona a little distracted at the start of the match. In these first moments it is the Granata who keep control of the game and play in search of spaces, although the guests, little by little, seem to be able to move up the pitch. The opportunities are slow to arrive: the Scaligeri win a few corners, from which nothing exciting comes. At minute 23 ngonge he tries to light up, but is thwarted by the Toro rearguard. This, however, is one of the many signals sent by the team Baroni, who now plays the ball more. We have to wait until the second minute of injury time for a jolt: Lazaro jumps sharply Terracciano, penetrates the area and aims for the far post; like at the start of the game, even now Montipo he is attentive and busy outside. The first half ends like this, with the result 0-0.

Second half

The teams return to the field from the locker rooms, but the attitude does not change. The pace remains very slow and the two coaches try to get their hands on the benches to try to change the flow of a very boring match. At minute 61 a cross from Pharaohs, headed towards the goal, forces Milinkovic Savic to make a save to avoid trouble. Soon after Tameze tries an aerial gore, without great success, while in the 78th minute Djuric he invents an overhead kick out of nothing, easy for the goalkeeper to control Turin. The Granata have a good chance in the 84th minute: Montipo e Coppola they get in each other's way on a cross from vlasic, the ball ends up at the feet of Schuurs who wastes it by shooting into the corner.
