Burnley 0:1 Torino — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Ali Dembélé’s first-half strike settled a drab affair as Torino edged Burnley 0-1 in a Club Friendly, with Alessio Cacciamani’s composed midfield display earning him the standout rating of 8.66. The Italian side ground out a narrow victory in a match that offered little beyond its single moment of quality, leaving Burnley with plenty to ponder before competitive action resumes.

The game turned on 18 minutes when Alieu Njie slipped a pass through for Ali Dembélé, who finished calmly to give Torino the lead. Burnley huffed and puffed thereafter, dominating possession but carving out nothing of note, while Torino sat deep and protected their advantage without ever needing a second goal. No cards or VAR interventions disrupted the flow, and the visitors’ early incision proved the only meaningful difference between the sides.

The numbers tell a familiar story of frustration for Burnley, who controlled 60% of the ball and won seven corners to Torino’s none, yet managed to lose the only statistic that matters. Torino were outplayed on possession but won on efficiency, and Cacciamani’s rating of 8.66 from midfield underlined his influence without a goal to his name. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Torino and the result confirmed that read, though the hosts’ territorial dominance suggests the margin flattered the winners slightly.
