It is a tough lesson for Torino.  Wolverhampton Wanderers having dominion and winning the UEFA Europa League Playoffs First Leg on Thursday 22 August 2019at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in Turin, Italy.  The second leg will be played on Thursday 29 August in England.  Torino Coach Walter Mazzarri will have to boost the morale of the team to get an away victory to continue the dream in the Europa League.

The game started with the wrong foot. It is Wolverhampton to open the score in the 43rd minute with an own goal. Defender Bremer attempted to clear Moutinho’s shot, unluckily, Bremer deviated with the head and the ball went inside the net of goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu.

It’s just chaos for Torino. Wolverhampton increasing the score in the 59th minute with Diogo Jota leaving no hope for goalkeeper Sirigu.

A ray of hope for Torino shortening the distance in the 61st minute. It is Lorenzo De Silvestri getting a cross by Ansaldi.

A cold shower at the Olimpico! Wolverhampton seem to be playing at home and score a third goal! What a headache.
