Torino beat Udinese Calcio 2-1 in Serie A after Daniel Braganca opened the scoring and a second-half goal restored the lead. Udinese Calcio had drawn level before the interval, but the hosts closed out the result.

Match Summary

Neither side found the net in the opening half hour. Torino then took control of the scoreboard when Daniel Braganca struck in the 36th minute. The lead lasted only a few minutes. Udinese Calcio equalized in the 43rd minute, though the scorer was not listed in match data, and the teams went in level.

After the restart, the home side found a way back in front. Torino scored in the 67th minute. That scorer was not listed in match data either. From there the visitors could not find another equalizer. Nicolo Bertola picked up a yellow card for Udinese Calcio in the 89th minute as the clock ran down, and Torino saw out a 2-1 win.

Key Moments

Braganca's finish after a quiet start gave Torino a platform they had not had for most of the first half and forced Udinese Calcio to chase. The reply just before the break mattered because it wiped that platform away and sent both sides into the interval on even terms, with the visitors still very much in the contest.

The goal just after the hour was the swing that decided it. Torino were back in front with plenty of time still to play, yet Udinese Calcio never turned extra shot volume into another equalizer. A late booking for Bertola did not change the result. It did show the visitors still pressing without reward as time expired.

Match Statistics

The numbers backed Torino's edge in quality if not in volume. Udinese Calcio actually took more shots, 14 to 12, yet put only one on target against four for the hosts.
