AS Roma and Torino dueling to get the first victory in the 2019 to celebrate the New Year.  The battle is at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium and the victory is for Roma.  A sour defeat for Torino because it ends their  winning away record in the Serie A.   Roma reaching 33 points while Torino remain with 27 points.

Great start for Roma. It is Nicolò Zaniolo to open the score in the 15th minute. Yep. Zaniolo defeating Torino goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu with a left footed shot in the top left corner. The party is on at the Olimpico.

The Roman gladiators increasing the score in the 34th minute. Referee Giacomelli granted a penalty to Roma conceded by Torino goalkeeper Sirigu after a foul on forward on Stephan El Shaarawy. There you go… not failing to the mission. Aleksandar Kolarov converts the penalty defeating goalkeeper Sirigu with a left footed shot in the bottom left corner while Sirigu goes the other way.  Torino in problems….. Roma rocking…

Torino shortening the distance in the 51st minute.  It is Venezuelan forward Tomás Rincón to give a ray of hope.   Rincón defeating AS Roma goalkeeper with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.

In the 67th minute, Torino level the score for the 2-2.  It is Cristian Ansaldi to deliver a right footed shot  defeating Roma goalkeeper Robin Olsen to delight Torino fans. Oops… headache for Roma fans.

The moment of redemption for Roma in the 73rd minute. Forward Stephan El Shaarawy scoring the winner goal to claim all three point crashing Torino’s hope.   El Shaarawy defeating goalkeeper Sirigu with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.  The assist is by Lorenzo Pellegrini.
