Chaos for Palermo losing the home game at the Renzo Barbera Stadium. Torino accomplished the challenge defeating Palermo to claim the victory. Torino having now a +5 points lead over Palermo.
Great start for Palermo! In the 2nd minute, there is the goal by forward Alberto Gilardino defeating Torino goalkeeper Padelli with a left footed shot in the high center. The assist is by defender Michel Morganella.
Things complicating for Palermo. Referee Cervellera giving a penalty to Torino in the 18th minute conceded by Palermo defender Morganella after a foul on Torino forward Ciro Immobile. Precisely, it is Immobile to convert the penalty defeating Palermo goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.
