The match, played at the Olimpico stadium, was marked by a series of defensive errors by Torino. Kulenovic took advantage of the confusion in the penalty area, managing to overcome the defense and score the decisive goal. The Croatian player said that the victory was "fundamental" and that the team deserved the three points. “Three fundamental points, we deserved this victory,” commented Kulenovic after the match, highlighting the importance of this result for the standings.
Udinese's goal was scored by another defensive error. Okoye and Bertola collided at a crucial moment, leaving the field free for the former Juventus player, who finished the goal. Udinese missed a chance of a draw, and the final result left the Friulian club at a disadvantage in the table. Torino coach Abate expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, but also underlined that the team must improve its defense to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
