Pescara in the last position of the Serie A winning only 1 game this season. The crude reality is that relegation to the Serie B next season is almost a reality.
It is Torino to open the score with an amazing fast goal in the 2nd minute. It is forward Iago Falque to defeat from close range Pescara goalkeeper Albano Bizzarri with a left footed shot in the high center. The headed assist is by Marco Benassi.
Torino just flying and scoring the second goal of the match in the 9th minute. Surely, Torino seeming determined to claim this victory to delight their fans. It is Arlind Ajeti to score delivering a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.
Pescara in deep problem already conceding three goals in less than 20 minutes! In the 15th minute, there it is Torino increasing the score following a fast break with forward Andrea Belotti defeating goalkeeper Bizzarri with a right footed in the bottom right corner. The assist is by Joel Obi. It’s the 16th goal of the season by Belotti.
