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 a Serie A match, with Australian Socceroo Cristian Volpato scoring a remarkable long-range goal. Early in the second half, the scoreless game saw Sassuolo launch a counterattack from their own half, leading to Volpato finding himself with the ball well outside the penalty box. He unleashed a low shot that curled and sailed past Torino's goalkeeper Diego Mascardi, breaking the deadlock.
Torino managed to level the score in the first half, with Domenico Berardi scoring in the 78th minute. However, Sassuolo's win on the night was secured by Berardi's goal in the 79th minute. Elsewhere in European football, fellow Socceroo Mohamed Toure scored two goals in Norwich City's 4-1 win over Burnley in the English Championship. As a young talent, 20-year-old Socceroo Paul Okon-Engstler made his debut in Germany's top flight, playing 65 minutes for club Köln in a 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim.
