Hellas Verona's survival bid boosted by win over Torino
Verona ease relegation fears with crucial victory
Hellas Verona claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over Torino in Serie A on Sunday, boosting their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Italian top flight.
The win lifts Verona three points clear of the relegation zone, while Torino remain 10th in the table.
Verona took the lead in the 38th minute when Adrien Tameze fired home from close range after a cross from Davide Faraoni.
Torino pushed for an equaliser in the second half, but Verona held on to secure all three points.
Verona's strong defensive display
Verona's victory was built on a solid defensive display, with the team limiting Torino to just one shot on target.
Goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò made a number of key saves, while the defence was well-organised and disciplined.
Verona's defensive resilience was particularly impressive given that they were missing several key players through injury.
Torino's struggles continue
Torino have now lost five of their last six Serie A matches, and their hopes of a top-half finish are fading.
The team has struggled for goals in recent weeks, and they were unable to break down a resolute Verona defence.
Torino coach Ivan Juric will be concerned about his team's form, and he will need to find a way to turn things around quickly if they are to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
Conclusion
Hellas Verona's victory over Torino was a crucial result in their bid to avoid relegation from Serie A.
The win lifted them three points clear of the drop zone, and they will now be confident of securing their top-flight status for another season.
Torino, on the other hand, are in a poor run of form and will need to find a way to turn things around quickly if they are to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
