Ché Adams Leads the Scoring for Torino Against Como

Ché Adams scored three goals for Torino in their Serie A match against Como on Tuesday 27 October, according to Fox Sports' match page. Serie A is Italy's top football division. Three goals in one match is known as a hat-trick, and it is the kind of night a striker remembers for years.

The match was listed by Lega Serie A for a 20:45 kick-off Italian time, which is 19:45 GMT. The same page lists Rafik Belghali with three assists, meaning three passes that led directly to goals. Rolando Mandragora had seven shots on target, attempts that forced the goalkeeper into action.

Adams is English, born in Leicester in 1996. He joined Torino in 2024 and has become one of the club's main attacking threats. Torino's own website had previewed the game with a team-news article and a piece on the numbers behind the fixture, so the club was clearly ready for a big evening.

Going into the match, the table told its own story. BBC Sport lists Como fifth with 17 points and Torino eighth with 13. Points are awarded for wins and draws, and the league table is ranked by them. A strong result for Torino would have moved them closer to the European places that the top teams fight for.

Como have a different kind of history with Torino. Back in January, ESPN recorded a 6-0 Como win in an earlier meeting between the two sides. That result is from a different season, but it shows how quickly a fixture can swing from one side to the other.

Referee Collu was named for the match in the official designations, which is how Italian football assigns the official in charge. Torino's website also reported a 3-2 win over Monza earlier in the season, a reminder that this squad has been trading goals all term.

For Torino's fans, a striker hitting a hat-trick at home is a moment to savour. It is also a moment that can shift a season's mood in a single evening. Adams has now given them a night to talk about, and the next question is whether he can keep it going.
