MILAN: Fiorentina grabbed a late goal through Gaetano Castrovilli to beat visiting Torino 1-0 in the opening match of the new Serie A season. As the season kicked off without spectators due to the pandemic, Castrovilli tapped the ball home in the 78th minute at the far post to hand Torino's new coach, Marco Giampaolo, a losing debut. Andrea Belotti had the ball in the net for Torino deep into stoppage time with an acrobatic effort but it was disallowed for offside.

Italy will allow up to 1,000 supporters to attend Serie A soccer matches from Sunday following an agreement between the regions and various government departments, sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora said on Saturday. Agencies
