Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AS Roma, 14th position with 4 points and a positive goal difference of +5
Torino, 9th position with 7 points and a positive goal difference of +1
Torino and AS Roma failed to win the Serie A Week 5 ending with a draw at the Olimpico Stadium in Turin, Italy. Roma had a very complicated start and are below the top 10 positions. Torino joined Frosinone and Napoli with 8 points, while Roma moved to 5 points like Monza, one point above Lazio and Genoa.
Surely, a difficult match for both teams, who based the match on physical play and long balls. The goals both arrive in the second half: in the 68th minute Lukaku receives in the area with his back to goal, pivots on Buongiorno and displaces Milinkovic-Savic with his left foot. The equalizer came in the 89th minute, with Ilic taking a free kick on the left midfield and crossing towards the far post where Zapata was quicker than everyone else and with his header displaces Rui Patricio, finding the equalizer.
Duvan Zapata responds to Romelu Lukaku and allows Torino to take a point against Roma.
Torino have won 8 points in five matchdays, thanks to two wins and 2 draws. A week ago the 3-0 against Salernitana arrived, with Radonjic unleashed: the Serbian attacking midfielder scored a brace and reached three goals in the championship.
In the next round, midweek, the Granata will face Lazio in Rome, while the Giallorossi will be guests of Genoa.
The Roman gladiators opened the score in the 68th minute. Romelu Lukaku defeated Torino goalkeeper Milinkovic Savic with a left footed shot to the center.
Torino equalized in the 86th minute. Colombian forward Duván Zapata defeated AS Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio from very close range with a headed shot to the center. The assist is by Ivan Ilic.
