In an exciting Serie A matchup on September 4, 2026, Como showcased their resilience by overcoming a one-goal deficit to secure a commanding 4-1 victory against Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. The match marked a significant turnaround for Como, who had recently triumphed over Napoli, while Genoa continued to struggle in the early stages of the season.
The game began with Genoa taking an unexpected lead, courtesy of Milutin Osmajic, who scored in the 19th minute. The former Preston North End striker capitalized on a swift counterattack, receiving a well-placed pass from Lorenzo Colombo. Osmajic managed to outpace Trevoh Chalobah and slotted the ball into the net, giving Genoa a brief moment of hope.
However, Como quickly responded, leveling the score just six minutes later. Martin Baturina unleashed a powerful right-footed strike from outside the penalty area, finding the bottom corner of the net and putting Como back in contention. This goal ignited Como's momentum, as they began to dominate the game.
Como took the lead in the 30th minute when Assane Diao found the back of the net. After a misjudged header from Genoa's Leo Ostigard, Diao was perfectly positioned to volley the ball home from close range. The visitors extended their advantage just before halftime, with Nico Paz scoring in the 41st minute. Paz received a perfectly timed pass from Yan Couto, took a touch to control the ball, and fired a stunning shot into the near top corner, leaving Genoa trailing 3-1 at the break.
As the second half unfolded, Genoa struggled to regain their footing, while Como continued to apply pressure. Despite a valiant effort from Genoa, including a near miss from Tasos Douvikas, it was Como who struck again in the 78th minute. On his debut, Moise Kean combined effectively with Maxence Caqueret before setting up Diao for his second goal of the match, sealing the 4-1 victory for Como.
This result is particularly significant for Como, as they have now secured back-to-back wins in Serie A, showcasing their potential under the management of Cesc Fabregas. In contrast, Genoa's defeat marked their third consecutive loss of the season, raising concerns about their performance and strategy moving forward. With key players still sidelined, including Lorenzo Venturino and Hamed Traore, Genoa will need to regroup quickly to avoid further setbacks in the league.
As the Serie A season progresses, both teams will look to build on this match. Como will aim to maintain their momentum, while Genoa must address their issues to turn their fortunes around in the upcoming fixtures.
