Roma's poor run of results continued as Torino snatched a 1-1 draw against Rudi Garcia's side in Serie A Saturday. Miralem Pjanic looked to have won the match for Roma when an error from Torino goalkeeper Daniele Padelli allowed his free kick to sneak in seven minutes from time. However, Maxi Lopez converted a penalty deep in stoppage time after Kostas Manolas tripped Andrea Belotti in the area as he tried to atone for a mistake from teammate Antonio Rudiger. Roma created little of note throughout the match and it was Torino which looked the likelier to score and claim its first win over Roma in eight years — and its first at home in Serie A since 1990. Roma remained fourth, three points behind current Serie A leader Napoli — which can be provisionally overtaken if Inter Milan beats Genoa later. Torino was eighth ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures. Roma was looking to bounce back ahead of Wednesday's crucial Champions League showdown with BATE Borisov. It was humiliated 6-1 at Barcelona in its last European outing, and that match was sandwiched between a 2-2 draw at Bologna and an alarming 2-0 defeat at home to Atalanta. Torino had several early chances but recalled Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny did well to parry Belotti's effort from close range and moments later Bruno Peres' snapshot from was distance was deflected just over the bar. There was more bad news for Roma as key striker Gervinho limped off 25 minutes into his comeback. Torino started the second half where it had left off and the ever dangerous Bruno Peres went on a mazy run, beating several defenders but his cross was intercepted by Szczesny. It took Roma until the 49th minute for its first shot and Radja Nainggolan's volley was straight at Padelli. Edin Dzeko should have put Roma in front in the 71st from a great ball over the top from Alessandro Florenzi, but he headed over the bar. The capital side did take the lead with a slice of fortune as Padelli mistimed his run off the line and saw Pjanic's free kick float past him. However, Torino snatched a point when Rudiger miscontrolled in the area, allowing Belotti to get past him and the Torino forward was brought down by Manolas.
