Both teams made one change each ahead of kick-off, with Torino's Cristiano Biraghi starting in place of Niels Nkounkou, and Genoa opting for Morten Thorsby over Vitinha. The game took a turn early in the first half when sloppy Torino defending gifted Genoa a 1-0 lead.





Genoo's Kristjan Asllani made a critical error in clearing a ball, allowing Morten Thorsby to score the opener from the edge of the six-yard box. Torino equalized midway through the second half, courtesy of another defensive mishap. This time, Stefano Sabelli turned Marcus Holmgren Pedersen's cross into an own goal, attempting to clear the ball but ending up steering it into his own net instead.




Guillermo Maripan sealed the win for Torino with a decisive header in the 90th minute, slotting home a Valentino Lazaro corner to make it 2-1. The victory marked Torino's second consecutive league win, lifting them to 11th place in the Serie A standings. Meanwhile, Genoa remained winless in the league this season, stuck at the bottom of the table with just three points after eight games.
