Winter in action for the second time. This time he put out a fire after a teammate was expelled

Stoper David Zima has made his second start in Serie A. He came on against Venice at the end of the game after one of his teammates got sent off. And this time, his team didn’t come away with any points either.

Torino arrived at the newcomer’s ground in excellent form. It hadn’t lost since the end of the September national team meeting, beating unpleasant Sassuolo and Salernitana and taking a point from the 1-1 draw with Lazio Roma.

As in the last two games, Czech international David Zima did not make the starting line-up. However, he did get his second start in Serie A on Monday.

After an uninspiring first half, the visitors took the lead with Croatian international Josip Brekalo. But the newcomer from Venice did not give up and got a double gift in the 78th minute. Torino stopper Koffi Djidji fouled in the penalty area and also saw a second yellow card.

Mattia Aramu took the ball and converted the penalty kick. Immediately afterwards, Zima came on to plug the gaping hole in the defence. He succeeded in doing so, his team had already maintained a 1-1 draw, which they had to take given the end of the game.

After a poor start to the season, Torino are now in ninth place with eight points. It is also worth mentioning the rarely seen fact that rival Juventus is worse off in the table, more precisely in tenth place.

It is the Turin derby that will be Zima’s last game before the October national break, played on Saturday from 18:00.
