Gvidas Gineitis received another chance to make an appearance in the Serie A league match from the first minutes - and not against just anyone, but against the team coached by Jose Mourinho, AS Roma.
The 18-year-old Lithuanian represented Torino, who lost 0-1 at home to the team from the Italian capital.
The only goal of the match came very early. Nicola Zalewski scored, and Per Schuurs handled the ball, resulting in a penalty kick for Ivan Juric's wards. Paulo Dybala successfully converted this opportunity.
Finally, Torino suffered a defeat.
Meanwhile, G. Gineitis played a successful match. The promising center-back had his first chance to play the entire 90 minutes (previously he played 45 minutes and 3 minutes in two matches), successfully completing 52 out of 59 passes (88 percent). He won 5 duels, recovered the ball 3 times.
In the 78th minute, the Lithuanian received a yellow card, but I. Juric, maintaining confidence in his center-back, did not make a substitution.
Roma climbed to third place in the standings. Torino remains in 11th place.
