 Victorious Torino!
Turin, 10th of January 2007 - Torino is flying even higher now after a win againist city-rivals Juventus today in the Coppa Italia thanks to the goals from Simone Barone and Elvis Abbruscato.
 Simone Barone gets the fans going after netting the eventual winner
The game opener game after just 20 seconds through an Alessandro Del Piero header, but Torino soon drawed with Elvis Abbruscato and after Alessandro Birindelli got sent off for elbowing the Torino goalscorer, the home team got another goal thanks to Simone Barone sending in a Luis Figo cross.
"It's a great day for us, the fans and for the history of this club. We've won the first battle in the war of rooting the evil out of this city. But there will be great many more battles ahead and this wasn't the biggest one for certain," said triumphant Torino manager Tanel Tursk.
"We'll keep our minds clear at the moment as there is second leg coming up though, but if that'd be a league game we'd party for sure. Unluckily though we have to play in the seperate leagues."
"Birindelli? I actually had a little bit of respect left for the guy, but with this move he proved to be a scum. I'm glad that we won after such thing. Hopefully he'll get banned for long aswell, he deserves it," said Estonian.
"I'm pleased to have scored another goal for this team as I promised, but there is second leg ahead. We had a great match and soon I hope we will be joined by Goran Slavkovski from Inter and we have little bit of new blood in the bench, at the moment Oguro is my only back-up. Though Konan is recovering well," said Elvis Abbruscato who had yet another great game.
The second leg will be held on Olimpico just next week and it may really turn out to be a hot showdown with just one goal seperating the two teams after the first leg. |
