Torino regained form after two defeats, taking a 2-1 victory against Udinese on matchday six of Serie A. The result was determined by a goal from Bragança in the 36th minute and a success from Kulenovic in the 67th, with Udinese attempting to react but failing to equalise. The match, played at the Olympic Stadium in Turin, saw Torino leading the table with 12 points, while Udinese is in 12th place with 8 points.
The match started with a balanced rhythm: Torino tried to control possession, but the guest showed danger, especially with a corner kick from Zarraga and a shot from Solet which was saved by Comuzzo. In the 36th minute, a corner led to Bragança scoring, taking advantage of a header from Simeone and a precise finish from Adams. Udinese responded immediately, with Ekkelenkamp equalizing in the 43rd minute with an assist from Ebosse. The goal was confirmed after a VAR review which ruled out a possible offside.
The second half was characterized by an intense fight for goals. Udinese tried to create chances, but Torino kept their defense solid. In the 64th minute, Kulenovic received the ball from Adams and, in just three minutes, finished with a right-footed shot that beat Okoye's defense and found the hole in Bertola's goal. The goal was the second consecutive for the Croatian striker, after his success at Dall'Ara against Bologna. Udinese tried to respond, but the opportunities were limited.
With the victory, Torino moves closer to fourth place, while Udinese remains in 12th place, just two points away from the relegation group. Torino will have their next match against Alberto Gilardino's Parma, while Udinese will face Lecce at the Bluenergy Stadium. Both matches are scheduled for next week, with Torino playing on 19 October at 8.45pm and Udinese hosting Lecce on 18 October. Torino's victory strengthens its position in the standings, while Udinese will have to try to recover points in the next few days to avoid the relegation zone.
