The Turin club made the breakthrough in the fourth minute when Mario Santana turned in Alessio Cerci's cross from just yards out.

Danilo D'Ambrosio came close to making it 2-0 for Torino on 18 minutes with a header but failed to keep his attempt on target.

The visitors had a number of chances to double their advantage as the first half progressed and eventually scored their second goal of the afternoon on 41 minutes.

Riccardo Meggiorini released Cerci with a precise through-ball and the winger fired in from the right side of the penalty box.
