Ghana international midfielder Afriyie Acquah got on the score-sheet for Torino who frustrated Udinese's Serie A survival hopes after defeating the Little Zebras 5-1 at their favourite Stadio Communale Fruili on Saturday afternoon.
The 23-year-old powerful midfielder cushioned the lead for Il Toro on the brink of half-time.
Acquah resisted a strong challenge from midfielder Edenilson at the edge of the box, overpowering the Brazilian in the act before firing a ferocious drive into Orestis Karnezis's twine in the 45th minute.
It was Acquah's second goal of the season for Torino in as many as 28 appearances.
While Torino push up the ladder, midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu was left disappointed as they still face real relegation threats.
Badu lasted the entire minutes of the game, playing his 32nd game of the season for the Little Zebras.
