Torino beats Sassuolo 2-1, Maripán stays on the bench

Torino secured a much-needed victory against Sassuolo on matchday 36 of the Italian Serie A, ending a three-game winless streak. The Granata triumphed 2-1 at home, with goals from Giovanni Simeone and Marcus Pedersen overturning Kristian Thorstvedt's opener for the visitors. The win, however, offered little in terms of league standing, as Torino is comfortably positioned above the relegation zone and out of contention for European competition next season. For Chilean defender Guillermo Maripán, the match marked his third consecutive game on the bench without playing time, a situation that offers little solace as the season winds down. While the team secured the points, the lack of European football and Maripán's continued absence from the pitch leave fans with mixed feelings about the club's trajectory.
