Victory was supposed to be and victory was. The Torino exceeds 3-2, and with some scare too much, a good Frosinone thanks to a feat of Berenguer after having wasted the double advantage. The squad of Mazzarri, thus, the break of two consecutive victories in the league after the blitz of Verona. How it had happened to her at the beginning of the season. The Frosinone is not demerit at all, manages to also return from the double disadvantage but back home with zero points and another three goals on the rump: the bench of Longo is at risk.
on is the evening of surprises and it is clear from reading the formations. Mazzarri relaunches the Zaza-Belotti couple, leaving his drums of trequartisti, from Iago Falque to Soriano, on the bench, preferring a thicker midfield with the presence of Meité and Baselli's strength, as well as the generosity of Rincon. The Frosinone is not distorted, although the moment is already very delicate: Longo re-proposes 3-4-2-1 with Campbell and Ciano behind Ciofani.
The Torino marks for the first time in this league in the first half, and it is certainly not a trivial matter. Mazzarri's team can also play about twenty minutes of appreciable football up to the advantage of Rincon, but soon after something gets stuck and the Toro leaves the field to Frosinone for the entire second half of the first half. And here it was reasonable to expect something more. The grenade start is certainly in the sign of good will: Belotti demonstrates that after six minutes, on the assistance of an Ola Aina triggered by a spike in Zaza, stops at the post. Zaza is the man who marks differences: his raids in the heart of the Frosinone area are always able to produce something good. As, for example, at 10 'when Zaza tries (high end), thirty seconds later Belotti also takes courage by trying a diagonal from outside the area (over the post to the right of Sportiello).
With Meité certainly not in his best night, Baselli often under rhythm and the outsiders (both Aina and Berenguer) who sin in precision, the widespread feeling is that tonight's Toro depends a lot on Zaza's ability to open spaces. And in fact, at 21 ', just from an assist of Simone Zaza, freshly reconciled in the national team, the advantage of Rincon comes: precise diagonal to the right of Sportiello and second goal this season for El General after the acute in the Italian Cup against Cosenza. Toro retreated ahead, defeated with enthusiasm and Frosinone took advantage of gaining the field, especially on the center thanks to the dynamism of Chisbah and Zampano. But apart from a couple of Ciofani head shots (both not on target), Sirigu lives a quiet first half ending without ever soiling his gloves.
When you return to the field, Torino is the goal that gives the illusion of being able to put down the evening. Everything still revolves around Zaza, which also enters the doubling of Baselli: just sixty seconds have passed since the start of the second half when Aina serves in the area for Zaza, who turns in a moment, Sportiello is opposed and on the rejected Baselli signs the doubling . The referee Pezzuto waits for the Ok of the Var before validating: it is 2-0 Taurus.
And when the game seems resolved, there is a grenade blackout. It starts at 13 ': from a poisonous corner of Ciano, Sirigu misses the exit, Goldaniga takes advantage of that puts Frosinone in the game. There remain many doubts about a contact between the goalkeeper of Toro and Chibsah: the referee Pezzuto trusts the judgment of Giacomelli to the Var and validates without affecting the episode. Six minutes pass and Ciano stamps the equal with a perfect header on which this time Sirigu can not do anything. But it is precisely when the Bull enters the pit, which emerges the garnet heart: first Izzo goes in goal but is in offside position, then comes the feat of Berenguer: ball at the intersection and the Olympic Grande Torino that pulls a big sigh of relief. Mazzarri's team melts, also hits a crossbar with Nkoulou, Lukic touches the poker launched by Parigini, while Berenguer saves on Perica. The Taurus takes home a victory more sweaty than expected but fundamental.
