Genoa
Como
Outstanding performance
Como•MidfielderGenoa's early lead lasted just six minutes before Como's superior class took over, ripping off three goals in a devastating 15-minute spell either side of the half-hour mark. Nico Paz and Martin Baturina controlled midfield throughout, with Como dominating possession 62-38% and doubling Genoa's shot count, while Diao's clinical finishing either side of the interval sealed the result with a brace. Genoa never found a way back despite a flurry of second-half substitutions from Vieira's bench, managing just two shots on target all game against Como's nine. For Como this is another statement result underlining their title-race credentials, while Genoa's makeshift attack and defensive fragility will raise fresh concerns about their season ahead.
