Simeone’s Brace Leads Torino to 3-0 Victory Over Parma

Torino Defeats Parma 3-0 to Climb Serie A Standings

Torino secured a dominant 3-0 victory against Parma at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on October 19, 2026, claiming their second consecutive win in Serie A. Giovanni Simeone starred with two goals, supported by a strike from Che Adams, lifting Torino to ten points in the table alongside Napoli, as reported by Sky Sport. Ignazio Abate’s side made the victory possible by matching Parma with a 3-5-2 formation while handing Vlasic a start.

First-Half Dominance and Early Goals Set the Tone

Torino opened the scoring in the fourth minute when Belghali crossed from the right flank, allowing Simeone to convert a volley at the far post. The buildup featured an initial sequence starting from the defense and a midfield assist from Simeone. Parma struggled to generate offense in the opening half, managing only a weak effort from Romero that goalkeeper Perri saved easily, prompting boos from the home supporters at halftime. During the first half, a VAR check confirmed the validity of Torino’s second goal while supporters in the Tardini curva nord demanded more fight from the hosts.

Tactical Shifts and Simeone Clinches the Match

However, Simeone extinguished Parma’s comeback hopes in the later stages with a 25-meter strike that beat goalkeeper Corvi to seal the 3-0 scoreline. In the closing moments, a goal by substitute Frigan was disallowed for offside.

Managerial Reactions and Team Perspectives

Torino manager Ignazio Abate praised his squad’s initial intensity and defensive organization during his post-match comments covered by La Gazzetta dello Sport. “We played a high-level half-hour, then the opponents came out and made us suffer a bit at the start of the second half,” Abate said. Meanwhile, Simeone reflected on his performance, noting that the goals were his first in the league campaign after a six-match drought. The defeat leaves Parma in the relegation zone with two losses and six goals conceded across their last two fixtures. Following the match, Simeone remarked, This is my first brace since I’ve been at Torino, I haven’t scored two goals since I wore the Napoli shirt, and added, I will show it to my son and I don’t know if he will believe it. Just as I admired my dad’s goals, I too will share this moment with my son.
