Suffered triumphs of Verona and Torino

Verona took a step forward to European places after winning 2-1 discount to Empoli, which is stuck in the middle of the standings, in a final of the thirteenth day of Serie A in which Torino took air and moved away from the relegation places by also defeating Udinese 2-1.

This time it was not the Argentine Giovanni Simeone who carried out the Verona game. After scoring seven goals in his team’s last four games, the third top scorer in Serie A, with 9 goals, missed the mark and left the scoring responsibility to his teammates.

Specifically, in the boots of Antonio Barak, who opened the scoring at the beginning of the second half after heading a cross from Darko Lazovic, and Adrien Tameze, who in added time gave the victory to his team with a shot from within the area.

In the last breath

Argentine Simone Romagnoli, with 23 minutes remaining, had tied the match in an opportunistic action inside the area. But Empoli ended up missing a point because Tameze, in the last breath, gave the victory to Verona, now ninth, two points from the sixth place occupied by Lazio.

In the match that closed the day, Torino also suffered to score three points against Udinese and settled in the middle of the table, moving away from the relegation places.

Torino ensures victory

Josip Brekalo opened the scoring for the Turin team with a distant volley that beat Marco Silvestri, Udinese goalkeeper. Then, right at the restart, Bremer took advantage of a rebound to make the second. Although Udinese closed the gap with a free kick by Fernando Forestieri, they could not draw and the points stayed in Turin.
