Torino stopping AS Roma race towards the top position at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium. It’s a special day for Torino winning their second game this season. It’s a historical victory for Torino because they had not beaten AS Roma since 1990. The party is on for the Toro. A sour record for AS Roma Captain Francesco Totti scoring his 250th goal in Serie A after converting a penalty, but not enough to save Roma from falling.
