In a riveting Serie A clash at the Stadio Olimpico, Lazio and Torino delivered a six-goal spectacle capped by Danilo Cataldi’s penalty deep into the 13th minute of stoppage time, salvaging a 3-3 draw in a match that see-sawed until its remarkable conclusion.

Torino, desperate to end a barren first-half scoring run, showed early initiative. Giovanni Simeone broke the deadlock in the 16th minute, capitalizing on a parried shot from Marcus Pedersen to poke home the opener—his eighth goal in nine league appearances, reasserting his status as Torino’s focal point. Lazio answered swiftly, with Pedro threading a precise ball for Matteo Cancellieri. The young forward controlled and rifled a low drive past Franco Israel in the 24th minute to level the score. Cancellieri, increasingly influential, struck again before the interval, cutting in from the right and finishing deftly after a clever assist from Toma Basic to give Lazio a 2-1 halftime lead.

The second half added layers of drama. Torino squandered a golden chance to equalize early, with Cyril Ngonge missing from the penalty spot. Undeterred, Torino pressed relentlessly, and their persistence paid off in the 73rd minute when substitute Ché Adams slotted home after excellent work from Nuno Nkounkou, knotting the game at 2-2.

Just as it seemed the points might be shared, the evening erupted into chaos. In the 92nd minute, defender Saúl Coco rose highest at the far post to head home from an Adam Masina delivery, seemingly handing Torino a dramatic 3-2 lead and an elusive away victory. The away fans were already celebrating what appeared to be a decisive intervention.

But the Stadio Olimpico has long been a stage for the improbable. With Torino moments from victory, Lazio won a penalty after a frantic sequence in the area. In the 103rd minute, with nerves stretched tight, Cataldi sent Israel the wrong way, rescuing a pulsating point for Lazio and denying Torino only their second win in 13 meetings between the two sides.

Cancellieri was named Flashscore’s Man of the Match for his first-half brace and relentless threat. The match statistics underscored the seesaw nature of play: Torino edged possession and fired off 16 shots to Lazio’s 9, but the hosts’ resilience proved pivotal at the death.

For Lazio, the result brings mixed emotions—a show of character, but also an extension of their indifferent home form. Torino, meanwhile, will rue two points dropped in the most painful fashion, but can take solace in their attacking spark finally reigniting. As Serie A’s early season drama continues, both teams leave the Olimpico knowing they played starring roles in a classic.
