Torino wins 2-1 against Udinese in Ignazio Abate's home debut

(PRIMASPORT) TURIN Matchday 6 of Serie A ended with Torino's 2-1 win over Udinese, a result that moves the Granata to seven points in the standings, leaving Udinese on four, their fourth consecutive defeat. This was Torino's first home win under Ignazio Abate. After a 1-1 first-half draw (Bragança scored the first goal in Italy to give the Granata the lead, with Ekkelenkamp temporarily leveling before halftime), the match was decided midway through the second half by a mistake by Udinese goalkeeper Okoye, who beat Bertola and allowed Kulenovic to comfortably tap in for Torino's decisive lead. Torino coach Abate celebrated his first win in front of his new fans, while Kosta Runjaic commented on the match, acknowledging responsibility for the errors: "Just like against Cagliari, we lost because of a big mistake on our part, and it's also my fault." Despite the difficult times, Runjaic maintains a positive attitude: "I'm always optimistic, even in life: we have to get through this by encouraging each other." Among the encouraging aspects highlighted by the coach are Solet's return and Ekkelenkamp's strong offensive performances, while awaiting the return of several key players. (PRIMASPORT)
