Torino 5-3 Pescara - Afriyie Acquah makes substitute appearance for victors while Sulley Muntari is benched for bottom club

Published on: 12 February 2017

Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah came-on as a second-half substitute for Torino as they dispatched Sulley Muntari's Pescara 5-3 in an eight-goal thriller.

Interestingly, Torino were 5-0 up by the 61st minute but Pescara staged a fight-back which turned out to be a consolation.

Acquah came on for Sasa Lukic with his side crusing by 5-0 while Muntari was kept on the bench by coach Massimo Oddo after a nightmare debut last weekend.

Andrea Belotti bagged a brace while Iago Falque, Arlind Ajeti and Adam Ljajic managed to get their names on the scoresheet.

However, an own goal by Ajeti sparked a surprise Pescara comeback.

Ahmad Benali scored a brace for Pescara to set-up a tense finale.
