Torino booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia after a thrilling 3–2 victory over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, delivering one of the most dramatic nights of the Italian cup season.

The standout performer was Che Adams, who produced a decisive brace to stun the home crowd. The Scotland international opened the scoring in the first half, finishing calmly to put the visitors in front. After the break, Adams struck again, expertly converting a pinpoint cross from Nikola Vlasic to restore Torino’s lead.

Roma, however, refused to surrender without a fight. Early in the second half, Mario Hermoso dragged the Giallorossi back into the contest with a powerful solo run and composed finish. The atmosphere intensified when 16-year-old debutant Arena showed remarkable composure to level the score once more, igniting hopes of a comeback.

But the final word belonged to the visitors. In the 90th minute, Emirhan Ilkhan delivered the decisive blow, finding the net with a precise strike to silence the Olimpico and send Torino through in unforgettable fashion.
