Torino beat Como: Njie and Milinkovic decisive

After three consecutive defeats, the bleeding of results for Torino stops, winning a very tough match against Como: the young Njie scores the 1-0 which is worth three very important points for Vanoli. The match at the Olimpico begins with an excellent pace, with the Como players gradually gaining ground and once again showcasing the talent of Nico Paz. The Argentine comes very close to scoring, but the best opportunity is for Fadera: great save by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, best on the pitch today, to avoid the former Genk player’s goal. Fabregas loses Sergi Roberto and trembles at the end, as Che’ Adams sees a goal disallowed: there was a large offside.

In the second half Vanoli deploys Vojvoda in place of Walukiewicz to stem Fadera and the move works, with Toro regaining the field and courage. Ricci comes close to scoring with a shot at the near post, then Audero is decisive on Lazaro. Como responds with Strefezza and Nico Paz, but Milinkovic-Savic confirms himself to be unbeatable. Vanoli dares to play with the unpredictability of Njie, born in 2005, a product of the academy, and is rewarded. In the 75th minute the substitute took advantage of an unfortunate (and short) back pass from Braunoder to make it 1-0, the decisive goal for this match: the 19-year-old stole the ball and fired past Audero from a few steps away.

Fabregas shuffles the cards by inserting Belotti and lining up with a three-man line-up, with a confusing and effective formation at the same time. In fact, his Como created three chances in injury time with Cutrone, Perrone and Mazzitelli: the save from Milinkovic-Savic was amazing, saving on the latter and sealing the result with a magnificent intervention in the 95th minute. Torino therefore rejoices, rising to 14 points and moving up the table, ending their difficult moment. Fabregas’ Como, however, comes out with their heads held high: they still have nine points in the standings, but even today the Como team showed attractive and spectacular football.
