Torino, meanwhile, hit a good run of form just before the international break after struggling in the last month. They played out a 1-1 draw against Jose Mourinho's Roma in their last game before the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup. Torino looked set to come away with all three points before I Giallorossi drew level via a Nemanja Matic stunner at the death.
Il Toro will host Hellas Verona on their return to competitive football next year.
