Coach Roberto D’Aversa rues several key moments that proved decisive as Sampdoria lost 2-1 to Torino. ‘It could’ve been a different result.’

The Blucerchiati had taken the lead at Marassi through Francesco Caputo, but Wilfried Singo and Dennis Praet headers turned it around.

“We tried to bring home points, but we have to go out there with the right determination,” D’Aversa told DAZN.

“We are talking about a defeat, Torino did better, but there were two of our moves where it could’ve been a different result.

“Morten Thorsby had a header cleared off the line and Fabio Quagliarella’s chance was just wide. We also conceded the two Torino goals too cheaply with our errors, as we should’ve cut out the crosses earlier. After that head injury, Thorsby also struggled to evaluate the flight of the ball on Singo’s goal.

“Anyway, there’s no point standing here trying to recriminate on what happened or go over regrets, we have to react and work.”

Samp gave Tomas Rincon his first start after the January loan move and it was against his former club.

“He’s in good shape, despite not playing very much, but we lost Albin Ekdal and Quagliarella could only play for 20 minutes due to a calf problem.”
