Como
RB Leipzig
Outstanding performance
Como•MidfielderComo dismantled RB Leipzig with a clinical attacking performance, scoring three goals inside a first-half-to-second-half spell that put the German side to the sword despite Leipzig actually dominating dangerous attacks 56 to 36. Martin Baturina, Tasos Douvikas and Assane Diao all found the net as Como converted their big chances at an impressive rate, creating seven big chances to Leipzig's two. RB Leipzig got a late lifeline through Andrija Maksimovic's stunning strike from outside the box, but a flurry of second-half substitutions couldn't stem the tide, and substitute Máximo Perrone put the icing on the cake with a stoppage-time finish. For Como, this is a statement win on the continental stage against a side with far greater pedigree, while Leipzig will need to regroup quickly given how porous they looked defensively despite their possession share.
