Torino were looking to put their Coppa Italia quarter-final defeat to Fiorentina behind them after being knocked out in midweek, and they started calmly and composedly, dominating possession in the early stages.

Unfortunately, Sottil’s wish was not granted, as Torino took the lead just four minutes after the restart. Ola Aina’s inviting cross was met by Karamoh’s purposeful run, who steered the ball home from close range.
Although the strike was initially ruled out for offside, VAR reversed the decision, allowing the striker to celebrate his first league goal of the season and possibly the match winner.
Inter Milan 1-0 AC Milan: AC Milan were defeated by Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, effectively ending their chances of defending the Scudetto. The Rossoneri are now 18 points behind leaders Napoli after suffering their fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions.
Fiorentina 1-2 Bologna: Bologna won their first game at the Stadio Artemio Franchi since 2010, beating Fiorentina 2-1 in a tight Derby dell’Appennino.
