With their second consecutive comeback, after the 2-1 victory against Fiorentina, Lazio temporarily placed themselves just one point behind Juventus, with whom they want to fight until the end for the title of Italian champion.
At the Olympic Grande Torino Stadium in Turin, Lazio had to rely on their pride to overcome a local team that took the lead after three minutes thanks to a penalty converted by Andrea Belotti.
It was a demanding match for the Roman team, who went into halftime behind on the scoreboard and with two yellow cards that could cost them dearly.
Ciro Immobile and the Ecuadorian Felipe Caicedo were booked and will miss the match against Milan on July 4th due to card accumulation.
But Simone Inzaghi's men managed to maintain their focus and turned the game around thanks to Immobile himself (m.48), after an excellent pass from the Spanish Luis Alberto, and Marco Parolo, who scored the 2-1 in the 73rd minute with a shot deflected by a defender that beat goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu.
For Immobile, a former player of Torino and Sevilla, among others, it is the twenty-ninth league goal of the season and he is becoming an increasingly solid leader in the Serie A scorers' ranking.
It was the twenty-first win of the season for Lazio, which forces Juventus to win against Genoa to regain the four-point advantage in the standings.
For Torino, on the other hand, it was the sixteenth defeat of the season and they only have a six-point lead over the relegation zone, with one more match played than their direct rivals.
