Vlasic Scores Penalty as Torino Secures Second Consecutive Victory

On Sunday, Sassuolo and Torino, positioned mid-table in Italy's Serie A, faced each other. The match saw few dangerous goal-scoring opportunities and was largely influenced by referee decisions.

In the 22nd minute, a penalty was awarded to Torino striker Che Adams; however, after a VAR review, the referee overturned the initial decision, canceling the penalty. In the 65th minute, Josh Doig's foul on Giovanni Simeone clearly warranted a penalty.

Nikola Vlasic stepped up to the spot and converted the penalty with confidence, leaving the goalkeeper unable to anticipate – 0:1. This goal by the former CSKA Moscow player secured Torino's second consecutive victory.

This result moved the team to 12th place in the league standings. Despite their defeat, Sassuolo remains ahead of Torino by one point in the table.
