Torino secured a 2-1 victory against Udinese in a Serie A match held at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Daniel Bragança opened the scoring for Torino in the 36th minute following a rebound from a corner kick. Udinese responded before halftime, with Jurgen Ekkelenkamp equalizing in the 43rd minute.

The decisive goal arrived in the 67th minute when Sandro Kulenović, entering the match as a substitute, capitalized on a significant error by Udinese goalkeeper Okoye, who failed to handle a long ball, allowing the Croatian striker to score into an empty net. Following the match, Torino’s Daniel Bragança was named Player of the Match.

Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic attributed the loss to “heavy defensive errors and a lack of communication,” while also noting a lack of clinical finishing despite feeling his team controlled portions of the game. The result moves Torino to 12th place in the standings with seven points, while Udinese remains in 15th place with four points, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. Despite the loss, Ekkelenkamp demonstrated strong individual form, marking his third goal of the season.
