Socceroo Volpato scores long-range goal in Serie A win
A long-range strike from Socceroo Cristian Volpato has helped his Italian side Sassuolo claim a 2-1 win over Torino in their Serie A clash.
Sassuolo secured a 2-1 victory over Torino in Serie A, thanks to a long-range goal from Australian Socceroo Cristian Volpato. The match was essentially goalless during the first 30 minutes, but Sassuolo launched a counterattack in the 32nd minute. The ball found its way to Volpato, who delivered a low strike from outside the penalty box, bending the trajectory of the ball to outmaneuver Torino's goalkeeper Diego Mascardi and break the deadlock.
Torino managed to equalize the score at the end of the first half, but Sassuolo's lead was secured with a late goal from fellow Socceroo Paul Okon-Engstler in the 78th minute. Elsewhere, Socceroo Mohamed Toure made his mark in the English Championship with a brace as Norwich City triumphed 4-1 over Burnley. Toure's performance has seen him score a total of 11 goals in 14 Championship matches since his debut in February.
Additionally, young Socceroo Paul Okon-Engstler made his debut in Germany's top flight with club Köln, contributing to their 3-2 win over Hoffenheim in the opening round of the Bundesliga season.
