Torino defeated AC Milan 3-1, with goals from Ivan Ilic and Ricardo Rodriguez contributing to Stefano Pioli’s team’s loss in Serie A.

In a thrilling Serie A TIM match between Torino FC and AC Milan, Ivan Ilic of Torino FC emerged as the hero, celebrating his team’s second goal and securing a crucial victory. This result has kept Torino’s faint hopes of qualifying for European competition alive for next season.

Torino executed a smash-and-grab raid, outfighting an AC Milan side that seemed disinterested at times. Milan, already guaranteed a second-place finish, played with a lack of dynamism in their attacks, allowing Torino to dominate the game.

Duvan Zapata, Ivan Ilic, and Ricardo Rodriguez were the goal scorers for Torino, propelling them to victory. With this win, Torino has surpassed Napoli in the standings and now have a chance to qualify for continental football next season. However, this will only be possible if they can maintain their ninth position and if both Atalanta and Fiorentina win their upcoming European finals. While this may seem like a tall order, it is not an impossible feat.

Rodriguez’s sensational goal right from the kick-off in the second half was the icing on the cake for Torino. This well-deserved win was a fitting farewell for their manager, Ivan Juric, who will be departing for new challenges in the summer. On the other hand, AC Milan’s Stefano Pioli may also be leaving his position at the San Siro, making Juric the happier of the two managers.

The match itself was a departure from Torino’s usual defensive style, as they played a more free-flowing game. However, they remained compact at the back and took advantage of defensive errors by Fikayo Tomori and Malick Thiaw to secure their victory.
