Italy: Belghali scores his first masterpiece with Torino (video)

Oct 23, 2026

Rafik Belghali made a strong impression this Friday with Torino. In his match against Monza in the league, the Algerian international scored his first goal for the Piedmont club, a goal that was both valuable and spectacular. It was a significant moment for the player, who is gradually proving his ability to influence Serie A matches.

Positioned on the right flank, Belghali waited until the hour mark to make the difference. After Torino had seen Monza equalize with a goal from Gustavo Varela early in the second half, the Algerian full-back restored his team's lead in the 60th minute. After receiving the ball from Gvidas Gineitis, he drove into the center before unleashing a right-footed shot from outside the box. His attempt, perfectly placed, found the back of the net, leaving the opposing goalkeeper helpless.

A moment of great class that allowed the Granata to regain control of the match and highlighted the offensive qualities of the Algerian player. Belghali did not stop at this decisive action. Just a few minutes earlier, he had already tried his luck with a shot in the box, signaling a particularly active second half.

Torino then extended their lead thanks to Nikola Vlasic in the 71st minute, making the score 3-1. Belghali also contributed to this action, as his cross was deflected before the Croatian midfielder scored. Substituted in the 83rd minute, the Algerian left the field after a notable performance, marked by his first goal and his involvement in the third.

This goal represents a significant milestone for Belghali, who continues his adaptation to Italian football. For Torino and for Algerian supporters, this first achievement could herald more impressive performances from the player.
