Torino Upsets Roma 3-2 at the Olimpico to Reach Coppa Italia Quarterfinal vs Inter

Inter await Marco Baroni’s side in a neutral-site quarterfinal in Monza.

Overview

  • Che Adams scored twice for Torino, with Ilkhan netting a 90th-minute winner after Roma goals by Héctor Hermoso and 16-year-old debutant Antonio Arena.
  • Roma, short of forwards due to injuries and absences, started Bailey out of position before Gian Piero Gasperini introduced Arena, who scored within minutes of coming on.
  • Marco Baroni praised a growing Torino, highlighting aggression and vertical play and describing the qualification as a reward for supporters and the club.
  • Gasperini lauded Arena’s impact but said he expected more attacking reinforcements in July or August, underscoring ongoing questions about Roma’s depth and recruitment.
  • The quarterfinal will be staged in Monza because San Siro is unavailable due to Olympic preparations, as Torino’s director Gianluca Petrachi also indicated Sazonov, Asllani and Nkounkou are on the market.
