Inter keeping the 5th position after defeating Torino with the goal by forward Rodrigo Palacio in the 30th minute. A victory with an “Argentinian” flavor. It is midfielder Esteban Cambiasso giving the assist to Palacio for the headed goal defeating Torino goalkeeper Daniele Padelli in the bottom right corner. It’s a boost for the morale of the team gaining momentum after Fiorentina lost the match against Juventus. There is only 1 point difference between Fiorentina (45) and Inter (44) for Inter to snatch the 4th position and might happen next week.
