Torino 0-1 Hellas Verona

Torino were left still waiting for their first win and their first goal of the Serie A season after being beaten 1-0 at home by Hellas Verona.Artur Ionita's first goal in Italian football midway through the second half was enough for Andrea Mandorlini's men to take away all three points and move up to third in the table.Omar El Kaddouri missed a penalty for the hosts, who remain rooted to the foot of the table with only one point from their first three games of the season, and still no goal.The first half belonged to the visitors with Juan Gomez heading just wide of the goal before going even close with a carbon-copy header, this time finding the right-hand post.The game changed in the second half with Torino looking transformed, and Emiliano Moretti exchanged passes with Fabio Quagliarella to get to the goal line, but his cross was turned behind for a corner.Quagliarella then had a shot saved and followed that up with a header wide as Torino turned up the heat on Hellas.It was in the home team's best moment of the game that they fell behind, though with Ionita becoming the first Moldovan to score in Serie A, cutting into the area from the right and shooting inside the far post.Luca Toni should have killed the game off with a volley at the far post which missed the target.As a result, Torino were still in the game when referee Luca Banti, after long consultation with his assistants, pointed to the spot when Bruno Peres fell dramatically inside the area.El Kaddouri assumed the responsibility for trying to score Torino's first goal, but his spot-kick was saved by Rafael, who also blocked the Moroccan's follow-up to earn his side all three points and extend their unbeaten start to the season.ends
