Torino fight back to beat struggling Fiorentina for first win

Torino fought back to defeat struggling Fiorentina, securing their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Late in the match, Che Adams scored the decisive goal, 82 minutes into the game, to give Torino the winning margin they desperately needed. The game had started poorly for Fiorentina, as Mateo Pellegrino had scored an early goal for his team.

However, Rolando Mandragora's equalizer in the second half left the Stadio Artemio Franchi crowd disappointed. The two-time Italian champions had had a dreadful start to the season, suffering a 15th-place finish last year and losing their first three games by a combined score of 9-1. Fiorentina had made 13 signings and brought in new coach Fabio Grosso over the summer, but their performance against Torino was far from inspiring, earning them a final-place finish.

The match was one of several games that day, with Inter hosting Napoli and Gian Piero Gasperini facing his former club when Roma took on Atalanta in the early evening.
