In the last match of the 12th round of Serie A, Roma beat the visiting Torino 3:1 and equalized in points with the third in the standings Juventus. Wilfried Singo`s early red card put the `bulls` in a difficult situation, and the hosts took advantage and already led 2-0 at the break after goals from Henrich Mkhitaryan and Jordan Veretu. Lorenzo Pellegrini (68 `) finally put an end to the intrigue, and Andrea Bellotti returned a goal after an outrageous mistake in the defense of the `Jaloros`. Before this match Roma showed muscles with 5 goals in the door of Bologna, and Torino lost at home to Udinese and remained in the relegation zone. Even if the `bulls` had hopes for a positive result prediction by live football odds of `Olimpico`, after the expulsion of Singo it quickly became clear that Roma will easily reach the three points.
Paulo Fonseca was expected to give Henrik Mkhitaryan a break before the derby with Atalanta, but the Armenian started from the first minute. Lorenzo Pellegrini got a more offensive role, and Pedro Rodriguez, who served his sentence, was among the reserves. Chris Smalling appeared in the starting lineup for the first time since November 8. Despite receiving a vote of confidence from the leadership, Turin coach Marco Giampaolo is under increasing pressure. Looking for a change in the appearance of his team, he undertook serious changes among the starting 11. At the door stood Vanya Milinkovic-Savic instead of Salvatore Sirigu. The younger brother of the Lazio star Sergei Milinkovich-Savich had not started a Serie A match for more than two years. Armando Itzo, Thomas Rincon, Ricardo Rodriguez, Christian Ansaldi and Nicolas Nculu sat on the bench, and Alessandro Bonjourno made his debut as a starter in the Italian elite. In front of Andrea Belotti, Sasa Lukic helped. Bruno Perez missed a good pos ition in the 11th minute, and shortly after that Singo was sent off for two yellow cards. As a matter of fact, the second card was a bit too strong because the young defender tried to play for the ball, but referee Rosario Abiso did not spare him. Milinkovic-Savic did well with a shot by Canluca Mancini, but had nothing to do after a powerful shot by Mkhitaryan in the 27th minute, in which the ball bounced off the left post and entered the net. The guests very easily lost possession of the ball and this led to dangerous attacks by Roma. Leonardo Spinazola shot inches from the goal, and at the very end of the half Lianco kept Edin Dzeko in the penalty area and the `wolves` received a penalty, which Jordan Veretu scored. In the second half, the hosts slowed down. The problems for Turin continued with the injury of Ansaldi, who appeared as a reserve. Some of Toro`s counterattacks were dangerous, but did not end with accurate shots. Closest to the goal was Simone Edera, who shook the crossbar. In the 68th minute Pellegrini shot Mikinkovic-Savic for 3-0 with his second goal of the season. From here until the end of the match, the `Jaloros` acted without any concentration and allowed Beloti to reduce after a series of cannons in the penalty area. Torino even missed to return another goal through the reserve Federico Bonazoli. In front of the other door Borja Mayoral slowed down and was blocked by a defender of Torino.
