Season summary

In attempt to reborn, Torino bet on Brazilian playmaker Leo Junior.[1] On 18 November, a goal by Aldo Serena - who scored during injury time - brought the win in citizen derby.[2] A week later, "Toro" was knocked out by Hellas Verona that, due to this win, could topping the league.[3]
