TURIN (Interstat) — Inter Milan and Torino opened their Serie A campaigns with a 2-2 draw Sunday at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, a result that left both teams searching for their first win of the season.

Inter Milan struck first in the 23rd minute when forward Marcus Thuram found the back of the net. The visitors doubled their lead in the 61st minute courtesy of defender Yann Aurel Bisseck. The two-goal advantage appeared to put Inter in control, but Torino mounted a comeback.

Giovanni Simeone pulled one back for the home side in the 70th minute, giving Torino momentum. Midfielder Nikola Vlašić then equalized for Torino, completing the rally. Vlašić finished the match with a goal, while defender Enzo Ebossé and substitute Nicolò Barella each recorded an assist for their respective teams.

The match saw a flurry of disciplinary action in the closing stages. Andy Diouf received a yellow card in the 84th minute, followed by Ebossé in the 85th and Barella in the 86th. The three bookings came as tensions rose in the final minutes.

Both teams now hold identical records: zero wins, zero losses and one draw in Serie A, and the same across all competitions. The draw gave each side a single point to start the league season.

Inter Milan led 1-0 at halftime after Thuram’s early strike. Torino struggled to create clear chances in the first half but grew into the match after the interval. Inter’s second goal, from Bisseck, seemed to seal the visitors’ dominance, but Torino responded with a determined push.

Simeone’s goal in the 70th minute came after sustained pressure, giving the home crowd renewed energy. Vlašić’s equalizer arrived in the closing stages, capping a comeback that denied Inter a winning start. Barella, introduced as a substitute, played a role in one of Inter’s goals with an assist, while Ebossé’s assist helped set up a Torino goal.

The Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino provided a lively backdrop for the contest. The capacity crowd saw an evenly matched affair, with both sides creating chances. Inter’s early dominance was rewarded with two goals, but Torino’s persistence paid off with two second-half strikes.

Key performers included Vlašić, whose goal ensured a share of the points, and Ebossé, whose assist contributed to the home side’s rally. Barella’s impact off the bench highlighted Inter’s depth.

The result leaves both teams in the middle of the early Serie A standings, with work to do in the coming weeks. Inter will look to build on their strong opening half, while Torino will take confidence from their comeback.
