Ché Adams Stuns Serie A with Halfway Line Wonder Goal
Sometimes, a single moment of brilliance can change everything. On Friday, Scotland international Ché Adams delivered one of those moments, scoring an absolutely jaw-dropping goal from nearly the halfway line to secure a much-needed 1-0 victory for Torino against Empoli in Serie A. If you haven’t seen it yet, stop what you’re doing and find the replay—it’s the kind of goal that will be talked about for years to come.
Adams’ Moment of Magic
Adams, who had been enduring an eight-game goal drought, came off the bench in the 64th minute, replacing Antonio Sanabria. Just six minutes later, he made his presence felt in the most spectacular way possible. Spotting the Empoli goalkeeper off his line, Adams unleashed a perfectly weighted lob from inside the center circle. The ball soared through the air, over the helpless keeper, and into the back of the net. It was the kind of audacious strike that leaves fans, players, and commentators alike in stunned silence before erupting into applause.
Even the official Serie A Twitter account couldn’t contain its excitement, sharing a clip of the goal with the caption: “Ché Adams from the halfway line! You have to see it to believe it! 🤯”

Breaking the Drought in Style
For Adams, the goal couldn’t have come at a better time. After going eight games without finding the back of the net, the pressure was mounting. But with one swing of his boot, he not only ended his personal drought but also gave Torino a much-needed boost. The win lifted the Turin club into 12th place in the Serie A standings, just two places and three points behind Empoli.
It’s been a tough stretch for Torino, who started the season on fire, going unbeaten in their first five league games and even sitting atop the table for a brief period. However, the wheels came off in recent weeks, with the team managing just one win in their last 10 matches before Friday’s game. That lone victory came back in late October, and the pressure on coach Paolo Vanoli was beginning to mount. Adams’ wonder goal might just be the spark the team needs to turn their season around.
What This Means for Torino
While the win doesn’t catapult Torino back into the top half of the table, it’s a step in the right direction. Here’s a quick breakdown of what this result means:
- Ending the Slump: Torino’s victory snapped a dismal run of form, giving the team a much-needed confidence boost.
- Mid-Table Battle: The win moves Torino into 12th place, keeping them within striking distance of Empoli and other mid-table teams.
- Pressure Relief: Coach Paolo Vanoli can breathe a little easier, at least for now, as his team finally delivered a result.
For Torino fans, this win is a reminder of what the team is capable of when everything clicks. And for Ché Adams, it’s a moment that will surely go down as one of the highlights of his career.
Looking Ahead
With this victory, Torino will be hoping to build some momentum as they head into the next phase of the season. Consistency has been their Achilles’ heel, but if Adams’ goal is any indication, this team still has plenty of fight left in them. The question now is whether they can string together a series of strong performances and climb back up the table.
As for Adams, his halfway-line heroics have not only ended his goal drought but also reminded everyone of his immense talent. If he can keep this form going, Torino might just have a new talisman to lead them through the rest of the campaign.
One thing’s for sure: Friday’s game will be remembered for a long time, thanks to one unforgettable moment of brilliance from Ché Adams. And who knows? It might just be the turning point in Torino’s season.
