Torino and Monza played out a 2-2 draw, with Milan Djuric's two goals cancelling out Adam Masina's earlier strike, as both teams continued their winless runs.

Milan Djuric's two headed goals from corner kicks cancelled out Adam Masina's earlier strike, as Torino and Monza continued to struggle with disappointing recent form. Both teams entered the international break on a dismal run, having suffered three consecutive defeats.

Torino welcomed back Che Adams to their lineup, while Duvan Zapata, Perr Schuurs, and Zanos Savva remained sidelined due to injury. Meanwhile, Monza was without several key players, including Matteo Pessina, Stefano Sensi, Patrick Ciurria, Roberto Gagliardini, and Alessio Cragno.

The Torino ultras staged a silent protest for the first 45 minutes, expressing their discontent with the club's management. On the pitch, Daniel Maldini nearly opened the scoring within the first two minutes, breaking free from the offside trap and testing Vanja Milinkovic-Savic one-on-one.

At the other end, Pablo Mari made a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Saul Coco's header from a corner, preventing Torino from taking an early lead.

Torino finally broke the deadlock on the hour mark, courtesy of a pinpoint Valentin Lazaro corner. Adam Masina rose above the crowd, meeting the delivery with a powerful header that glanced into the far top corner. This strike marked Masina's first Serie A goal since May 2023.

The lead was short-lived, however, as Monza equalized moments later in similar fashion. A corner from Giorgos Kyriakopoulos was met by the towering figure of Milan Djuric, who nodded the ball home to level the score.

Torino thought they had regained the lead when Gvidas Gineitis' strike from eight yards was parried by Stefano Turati, but Sebastian Walukiewicz's follow-up effort was deflected narrowly off target by a desperate Pablo Mari.

Despite creating several scoring opportunities, neither team could find a winner. Samuele Ricci and Alieu Njie both tested Stefano Turati's gloves with shots from distance, but ultimately, the match ended in a 1-1 stalemate.
