He puts his gloves on, repelling Castro's penalty kick but can do nothing against Bologna's two goals. Vanja Milinkovic-Savic tries to close the door on the attacks of Vincenzo Italiano's team who, however, in the end leaves the “Grande Torino” with the three points in their pocket. For the Gazzetta dello Sport, the Granata goalkeeper is the best of his team: “He hypnotizes Castro from the spot, always attentive and confident in his outbursts. He has nothing to complain about about the two goals.” “Castro shoots with the fear of making a mistake – writes Tuttosport – but Vanja is certain of saving the penalty and makes a high-level intervention. Final rating mediated by the two goals conceded: he can do little on Dallinga, as he lets Pobega's shot pass, but also because it is covered by the Dutch center forward who passes a stone's throw from the goal.”
“He saved Torino by saving Castro's penalty. He couldn't do anything about the goals from Dallinga and Pobega” is the analysis in today's edition of Corriere dello Sport. This is TMW's comment: “In a first half lacking in emotion, he played the part of the protagonist by neutralizing Castro's penalty and keeping the score at 0-0. Little to complain about the two goals conceded in the second half.”
