Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Narrative

Resurgent Torino wins a third in a row A first goal of the season for Dutch midfielder Kian Fitz-Jim sent Torino on its way to a third win in a row for the first time since the 2019-20 season. Former Ajax player Fitz-Jim struck near halftime only for Gustavo Varela to equalize two minutes into the second half after a mistake by Torino defender Pietro Comuzzo. However, Rafik Belghali, the on-loan striker from Verona, got Torino back in front 14 minutes later with a fine strike from outside the box, and Nikola Vlasic guaranteed the points with a third. Nathan Patterson scored an own goal for Monza in stoppage time but a resurgent Torino did enough to take all three points and move into eighth place.
