Verona-Turin 1-2: the gialloblù dream of salvation, then Savva and Pellegri turn everything around

A huge wasted opportunity. Verona, despite a great match, threw away the match point of salvation by falling 2-1 at home at Bentegodi against a Turin that was too bad to be true until just over 10 minutes from the end. Swiderski’s goal deceived Baroni’s boys, who wasted several opportunities and were even punished excessively in six minutes of total madness, in which the Granata overturned it thanks to Savva and Pellegri, bringing themselves to just one point behind Napoli and still harboring the dream of be able to guarantee a European placement at the end of the year. for the Scaligeri, a rather heavy defeat considering how it arrived, which however does not excessively affect the standings with still two games to play: certainly, however, there remains a great bitter taste in the mouth for having wasted a result that was almost on ice after a more than impressive performance at the height.

EXPELLED: Henry (after the final whistle)

67 – VERONA’S GOOOL! SWIDERSKI! As soon as he entered, the Hellas center forward struck from two steps following a great ball from Serdar.

73 – COPPOLA NEAR DOUBLED! Nice cross from Centonze, empty exit from Milinkovic and a header from the yellow-blue central defender who just misses the net.

75 – GREAT SAVE BY MILINKOVIC ON SUSLOV! He crosses with power the Scaliger attacking midfielder, but the Granata goalkeeper opposes with a great leap.

77 – TURIN GOOOL! SAVVA! Nice cross from the right by Lazaro, the Cypriot anticipates Centonze and scores the equalizer.

83 – TURIN GOOOL! PILGRIMS! Incredible, the Granata overturned it: great protection on Coppola, a low ball under Montipò’s legs and a surprise advantage.

90 – HENRY’S 2-2 CANCELLED! Winning spike from the Frenchman, but Marinelli stops everything with a push on Della Valle.

THE BEST – PELLEGRI 7: He enters and, in fact, changes the game: his presence in the area opens up Savva’s equaliser, then it is he who turns it around with a great diagonal. If Toro can still believe in Europe it is largely thanks to him.

PROMOTED – SAVVA 7: Good at being in the right place at the right time: he scored the equalizer from two steps away, then made a lot of effort to cover on the wing.

FAIL – COPPOLA 5: Orderly and composed in his interventions, but always too soft in duels: Pellegri mocks him in the final, enjoying too much freedom in the area. Approximate also in the supports.
