Torino hosted Hellas Verona at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino and it was the visitors who came away with all three points in a 1-0 win, thanks to substitute Artur Ionita’s goal.
The Granata had a golden opportunity to take a well deserved point but a penalty and rebound save from Verona goalkeeper Rafeal from El Kaddouri meant the Butei continued their unbeaten start to the season.
