Torino defeated Udinese by a score of 2-0 at the Stadio Friuli in Serie A action on Sunday afternoon.

Second half goals from Alexander Farnerud and Ciro Immobile were enough to give the away side their second away victory of the season.

The home side had the first chance in the 3rd minute when Antonio Di Natale found space in the Granata penalty area but Daniele Padelli pushed the effort away.

The visitors responded in the 13th minute when Alessio Cerci picked out Immobile with a wonderful flick but the young Italian sent his effort well over the bar. Immobile had another great chance a few minutes later but once again sent his effort wayward of goal.

Udinese had a free kick from a dangerous position before the close of the half but Di Natale sent his shot high over the bar as the two teams went into the break tied at 0-0.

The Granata opened up the scoring in the 48th minute when Gabriel Silva’s error lead to a Torino counter, allowing Cerci to pick out Farnerud as the Swede sent his lob over an oncoming Zeljko Brkic to make it 1-0 for the away side.

The home side responded with Dusan Basta but the Serbian’s shot was tipped over the bar by an attentive Padelli.

The Zebrette came close to an equalizer through Nico Lopez in the 67th minute but the Uruguayan’s effort went inches wide of the goal to keep the score at 1-0 for Torino.

That missed opportunity proved costly as the Granata doubled their lead in the 75th minute. Mattia Darmian found some space down the right wing before pulling back a cross that Immobile easily headed home to make it 2-0.

Migjen Basha nearly made it 3-0 moments later but Brkic did well to palm the Albanian’s effort past the far post.

Di Natale looked to cut into the deficit in the 83rd minute but his weak header from a Basta cross was easily dealt with by Padelli.

The final minutes played out before referee Massimiliano Irrati brought an end to proceedings, allowing Torino to pick up their first win at the Friuli since 1984.
