Roma crumble in the final minutes against Torino as Duvan Zapata gifted his side a precious draw.

At full-time, the Colombian striker discussed his failed transfer to Roma earlier in the summer in his interview with DAZN.

“Obviously I’m happy with the goal and the team’s performance. It wasn’t an easy game,” said Zapata.

“Even in difficult times we held strong. Roma is a great team, with high quality players. When you can’t win, it’s important not to lose. We wanted the three points but one point is also fine, which is important for our ranking in the league.”

“I was very close to Roma, these are things of life and life wanted me to wear this beautiful shirt and I’m happy to be here.”
