This dynamic match featured plenty of thrilling action, spectacular goals and tense moments, including two sending-offs. Let’s analyze the significant events of this meeting on the pitch of the Sinigaglia stadium.

First period: A dazzling start for Como

The match got off to a flying start with a quick goal from Diao, who opened the scoring in the 5th minute. On an assist from Strefezza, Diao placed a precise shot which found the back of the net. Como was quick to double the lead with a second goal from Strefezza, scored following a well-executed corner. The latter benefited from excellent preparation by Dossena, who deflected the ball with his head for an unstoppable right shot.

The first act saw Como lead 2-0 at the break, showing impressive control over the game and the Udinese defense.

Second half: Udinese reaction and dramatic twist

Returning from the locker room, Udinese tried to react and quickly reduced the gap thanks to a goal from Payero at the start of the second half. Taking advantage of Strefezza losing the ball, he fired a powerful shot. However, Como’s response was immediate, and the situation became complicated for Udinese with the expulsion of Goldaniga for a second yellow card.

Complications intensified when Solet was also sent off, forcing both teams to adjust their formations. Despite the temporary numerical advantage, Udinese failed under pressure from Como. The impeccable Diao was once again at the center of the action, provoking an self-goal from Bijol in the 78th minute, before Nico Paz sealed the score in the 90th minute with a great collective action.

Conclusion: A decisive victory for Como

This 4-1 victory allows Como to gain confidence and climb in the ranking, leaving Udinese on a sour note. The individual and collective performances of Como, in particular those of Diao and Strefezza, were decisive. This match perfectly illustrates the team’s abilities to exploit its offensive strengths while maintaining a solid defense against its opponents.
