With Ola Aina and Sasa Lukic out and Antonio Sanabria and Pietro Pellegri only able to sit on the bench, Toro's injury problem was beginning to ease. Abdelhamid Sabiri, Andrea Conti, Ignacio Pussetto, and Harry Winks were hurt, while Medhi Leris was suspended for Samp. When Perr Schuurs was forced to leave the game due to his injury, Toro used a strong Radonjic angled drive to force an Emil Audero to save.
When Radonjic sprinted forward, finished a pass and go with Nikola Vlasic, and turned on the fly to drill into the far bottom corner, the hosts finally made their breakthrough. The second goal was strikingly identical to the first, but this time it was Vlasic who scored, meeting Mergim Vojvoda's assist with a snooker shot on the turn.
