Source context
Ignazio Abate admits the Torino collapse late in the game to lose 3-1 against Como left him ‘a little angry’ after they had seemed relatively comfortable. The Granata had been one of the form teams in Serie A at the moment, coming off a run of three consecutive victories. They had also gone 1-0 up here thanks to a Che Adams goal on the counter-attack and felt relatively comfortable in their lead until Jacobo Ramon equalised at the 81st minute. That prompted a total collapse in the closing stages, as Nico Paz and Martin Baturina rounded out a 3-1 scoreline for the visitors. Abate told Sky Sport Italia.
