Torino regains victory, Adams signs 1-0 on Lecce

TORINO (ITALPRESS) – Turin returns to success after almost a month. The boys of Marco Baroni beat Lecce 1-0 in the match of the Olimpico Grande Torino, valid for the twenty-third day of Serie A 2025/2026: he decides a goal of Che Adams.

The host training immediately becomes dangerous after just 2′ with an insidious cross of Sottil, on which Gandelman does not arrive for a breath. The response of the grenade team does not wait, so much that at 8′ Falcone is forced to intervene on Adams’ head blow: Then, however, the irregular position of the attacker is revised. The hosts continue to push on the bands with Lazaro which at the 16′ leaves a great traverse, but no companion succeeds to take advantage of the ball. After a moment of difficulty, Lecce returns to make a big voice with four conclusions within 3′: Cheddira, Coulibaly and Ramadani, however, only get a set of corners. At 29′, at the best time of the Salento, it is Turin to go ahead thanks to the network of Che Adams: delicious cross on the second pole of Vlasic for the Scots, which beats Falcone with a left to fly. After a double missed opportunity by Zapata, the Piedmontese go near the doubling with a right of Casadei, which is rejected by Falcone. At the end of the 3′ recovery, the two teams go to rest on the part of 1-0.

In the opening of the shoot another miracle of Falcone on the frame of Zapata keeps alive the Lecce, that at 54′ is shown from the parts of Paleari with an imprecise conclusion of Danilo Veiga. At 59′ Ilkhan serves Pedersen, which attempts a diagonal that turns out on the bottom. Despite the Giallorossi, they go forward looking for the tie, it is always Turin that makes itself more dangerous, with Adams who at 67′ devours the doubling from good position. A few minutes later Maripan touches the goal on the development of a corner, but Falcone gets over and says no. At 80’ he tries to climb into Chair Banda, but his right is printed on the pole. In the final the house grenade manages to administer the advantage until the triple whistle, which sanctions the return to victory after almost a month; fifth defeat in the last six, instead, for the Salento.

As a result of this success, Torino takes 26 points in the standings, while Lecce remains at 18. The Piedmontese will return to the field Wednesday evening at Meazza to face Inter in the eighty Italian Cup; the Apulians, for their song, Sunday 8 February will host the Udinese at the Via del Mare.
