Como confirmed their home form with a 2‑0 win against Sassuolo, played at Sinigaglia on 24 October. The result was driven by a brace from Tasos Douvikas, who proved to be the focal point of the team in the absence of Nico Paz. The match, part of the eighth matchday of Serie A, saw Como maintain their position in third place, at 17 points, with a margin of 17 points compared to fourth.
The match started under clear skies, with Como showing a decisive tactical approach from the first half. Cesc Fabregas' team had to face the liveliness of the Sassuolo trident, made up of Berardi, Bowie and Benja Domínguez. The first half ended goalless, with Como trying to open the score thanks to an excellent intuition by Ricci in the 17th minute, which created an insertion by Caqueret. The action ended with a goal from Douvikas, assisted by Turati, which gave Como the lead.
Sassuolo responded with a collective action, finding the lead in the 40th minute thanks to a shot from Bakola, but the Scot's offside position canceled out the goal. A header from Kambwala then ended the last hopes of a first half stuck at 0-0. Como continued to dominate the game, thanks to Fabregas' triple substitution (Milla, Ramon, Addai), which revived the team and allowed Turati to be introduced. A great move from the left and Caqueret's timely extension for Kaiki, the Brazilian who was astute in closing the triangle, led to a perfect assist for Douvikas, who finished with a tap-in.
The second half saw Como double their lead thanks to a lethal move by Kaiki, who again found Douvikas' goal for 2‑0. The home team was able to direct the match exactly where they wanted, modifying times and spaces to their liking and with some timely closures from Kempf at the back. The ranking changed, with Como maintaining their position in third, at 17 points, with a margin of 17 points compared to fourth.
Como continued to show their home form, with a long list of black and green substitutes (Lipani, Sebastiano Esposito, Volpato and Doig) who did not bring the breath of fresh air hoped for. The 2‑0 victory at Sinigaglia allowed Como to temporarily catch up with third-placed Roma on 17 points. The team demonstrated that it has the ability to manage the match and maintain its top position in the table, with a margin of 17 points compared to fourth place.
