Serie A: Gineitis Rescues Torino as Lazio Held to Third Consecutive Home Draw

Torino secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, extending the Biancocelesti바카라™s home frustrations. Lazio took the lead just before the hour mark when Adam Marusic capitalized on Pedro바카라™s exquisite flick, curling the ball into the far post. The hosts seemed in control and nearly doubled their lead, but Vanja Milinkovic-Savic made crucial saves to deny Mattia Zaccagni and Tijjani Noslin. Torino, however, found a late response thanks to Paolo Vanoli바카라™s inspired substitutions. Yann Karamoh바카라™s incisive pass allowed Cristiano Biraghi to surge down the left, and his deflected cross found Gvidas Gineitis, who slotted home past Ivan Provedel. Lazio pushed for a winner, but Milinkovic-Savic comfortably stopped Noslin바카라™s final attempt.
