Biancocelesti denied home win once again, while gritty Torino keep their unbeaten run alive with a second-half equalizer

Lazio let another home win slip through their fingers as they were held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Torino side at the Stadio Olimpico. After Marusic opened the scoring with a fine strike in the second half, the visitors hit back through substitute Gineitis, extending their unbeaten streak and frustrating a Lazio side still chasing consistency.

The match opened with chances on both ends. Adams threatened early for Torino, but Romagnoli blocked well. Lazio responded with a volley from Zaccagni and a missed opportunity from Pedro following a rare mistake by Milinkovic-Savic. Despite a more aggressive approach, Baroni’s men couldn’t break down Torino’s compact defense before halftime.

The breakthrough came in the 57th minute when Pedro picked out Marusic, who drove home a low shot past the goalkeeper—his fourth goal of the season. But the joy didn’t last long. Vanoli refreshed his team with a trio of changes, and it paid off.

In the 82nd minute, Gineitis met a cross from Biraghi and coolly slotted it home, earning a well-deserved equalizer. The hosts pushed forward in the dying moments, but Torino held firm. Tensions briefly flared at the final whistle, but were quickly calmed.
