VERONA, Italy (AP) — Substitute Gvidas Gineitis scored with eight minutes left for Torino to draw at Lazio 1-1 in Serie A on Monday and extend its unbeaten run to five games.
Adam Marusic put the home side ahead with a stunning strike 12 minutes into the second half.
Lazio had a penalty award withdrawn after a video review 10 minutes later and it continued to create most of the chances.
But Lithuanian midfielder Gineitis side-footed home the equalizer and lifted Torino to within one point of the top half of Serie A. Paolo Vanoli's men remain unbeaten since a Valentine's Day defeat at Bologna.
Lazio, meanwhile, was seventh, equal on points with city rival Roma.
