Lazio snatched a dramatic 3-3 draw against Torino in a six-goal thriller at the Stadio Olimpico. The match saw both teams creating scoring opportunities, with Lazio's Ivan Provedel making an impressive number of saves.
Torino had been determined to break their trend of not scoring in the first half this season, but their early attempts were thwarted by Provedel's solid goalkeeping. Cyril Ngonge's shot from the edge of the box was comfortably gathered by the Lazio goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper parried Marcus Pedersen's effort, but unfortunately for his team, the rebound fell perfectly for Giovanni Simeone, who tapped the ball home. This goal marked Simeone's eighth league goal in just nine matches, where he either scored the first or last goal of the game. Interestingly, one of those goals was the winner against Roma at the same ground in September.
However, Lazio was determined to avoid the same fate as their capital rivals and responded well to the setback. Matteo Cancellieri showcased his skill by unleashing a powerful shot from distance that rifled into the net, catching Franco Israel off guard. The ball stung Israel's palm as it flew past him, leaving him with no chance to make the save.

Torino continued to pose a threat, with Kristjan Asllani nearly scoring a wonder goal. He cleverly teed up a volley from distance, but Ivan Provedel made a crucial save to keep it out.
However, Lazio's Matteo Cancellieri came to the rescue again, cutting inside and tucking a shot under Franco Israel to give his team the lead just before halftime. Given Torino's poor record of coming from behind, trailing at halftime in each of their last three league games and losing all of them, they were determined to turn things around in the second half.
Ché Adams made no mistake with his effort, lashing the ball home from inside the area to give Torino the advantage.
There was still time for Torino to seal the win in dramatic fashion, and they thought they had done so when Saúl Coco headed home at the far post deep into stoppage time, sparking celebrations among the visitors. However, fate had other plans, as Lazio were awarded a penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time. Danilo Cataldi stepped up and calmly slotted the ball home, rescuing a point for the hosts and denying Torino their second win in 13 head-to-head matches.
The match ended 3-3, with Lazio salvaging a point in the dying minutes thanks to a penalty. This result adds to Lazio's struggles at home, where they've won only twice in 15 Serie A matches, with their last four matches ending in losses and one draw.
