Simone Zaza and Federico Bonazzoli scored the goals when Torino secured a 2-0 win over Virtus Entella in the fourth round of the Coppa Italia.
Entella arrived after having split with Benito Tedino earlier this week and new coach Vincenzo Vivarini saw an inspired side give the Granata a good game at the Grande Torino.
But the Serie A side proved too strong for the Serie B strugglers, as Zaza and Bonazzoli wrapped up a comfortable win in the first half.

But the Serie A side proved too strong for the Serie B strugglers, as Zaza and Bonazzoli wrapped up a comfortable win in the first half.
Zaza was replaced by Vincenzo Millico in the 76th minute and the veteran was content with the performance.
“I’m happy for the goal,” he told Rai. “These are difficult matches to face. We are finding hunger and will to win again.”
