Serie A | Torino 0-0 Frosinone: Missed opportunity

Torino and Frosinone shared the spoils in a stalemate that ultimately does not boost either team in their pursuit of Serie A targets.

Both sides had a lot of motivation, as the Granata could stay in the hunt for a Conference League place, while the Canarini needed to climb out of the bottom three.

Toro were coming off the goalless Derby della Mole against Juventus with Samuele Ricci suspended, Koffi Djidji, Gvidas Gineitis, Perr Schuurs and Pietro Pellegri injured. Riccardo Marchizza, Kevin Bonifazi, Abdou Harroui, Anthony Oyono and Sergio Kalaj did not make the trip after a 2-2 draw with Napoli.

Matias Soule nutmegged one player, dribbled past another and saw his left-foot curler skim the far post, while Duvan Zapata fired wide from 12 yards after good work from Raoul Bellanova.

Walid Cheddira’s audacious back-heel flick did not surprise Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and Duvan Zapata’s long-range scorcher almost surprised Stefano Turati.

The first real save of the match was on 56 minutes when David Okereke cut inside to unleash a powerful right-foot finish from outside the area that Turati palmed away with difficulty.

Cheddira pounced on a Ricardo Rodriguez slip to sprint forward and test Milinkovic-Savic one-on-one, while Soule volleyed wide from the edge of the box.

Bellanova and Marco Brescianini also had attempts off target, with Duvan Zapata firing over from a tricky angle, but neither side ever really looked like taking the three points.
