A super victory for Torino defeating Napoli at the Olimpico Stadium. It’s a major success for Torino after qualifying to the UEFA Europa League Round o 16. For Napoli, it’s a step back because although they also qualified in Europa League, failed today to shorten the gap with Roma!
Things not working out for Napoli. It is Torino to open the score following a corner conceded by Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly. There you see Alexander Farnerud providing the assist with a cross finding at the right spot Kamil Glik for the headed shot defeating Napoli goalkeeper Mariano Andujar in the bottom right corner. It’s the 6th goal by Glik this season.
