The bull dominated Catania!   Torino sinking Catania in desperation at the Angelo Massimino Stadium seeing their future to relegation almost a reality being in the last position of the Table.  Catania winning only 4 games this season.  Torino in the middle of the table practically saved to remain in Serie A next season.  Torino making a comeback from 0-1 to win the game 1-2.

Catania started with a joyful goal in the 2nd minute.  A goal proven a mirage not enough to secure the victory.  The assist by forward Pablo Barrientos to forward Gonzalo Bergesio defeating Torino goalkeeper Daniele Padelli with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. It’s the 6th goal this season for Bergessio.
 
Torino equalizing in the 79th minute. An assist by midfielder Omar El Kaddouri to midfielder Alexander Farnerud defeating Catania goalkeeper Mariano Andujar in the bottom left corner. It’s the 5th goal for Farnerud.

The winner goal arrives with a special touch in the 83rd minute.  It is Torino forward Ciro Immobile not only to score the winner goal, but also reaching top scorer of the Table with 18 goals like his city rival Juventus forward Carlos Tevez.   The headed assist by Riccardo Meggiorini to Immobile for the final left footed shot in the bottom left corner.
