Como enjoyed it, second consecutive victory for the Como team, who won 3-2 against Hellas Verona. Double from Cutrone and goal from Gallo Belotti, Fabregas’ team rises to 8 points in the standings. Beautiful match full of emotions, with Como who, illuminated by an extraordinary one Nico Paz (among the best of his team with 7 on his report card), comes close to taking the lead several times in the first half, but a Montipò in a state of grace (8.5 in TMW’s report cards) stops almost all the Como players’ attacks, giving way only to Cutrone’s deflected shot at the end of the first half. In the second half, Hellas first equalized with a penalty converted by Lazovic, but then remained with 10 men due to Suslov’s red card. With numerical superiority, Como definitively takes control of the match and scores first with Cutrone (a brace for him) and then with Gallo Belotti, who finds the first goal against the Lariani. In injury time Lambourde closes the gap but it is too late, Como finds their second consecutive victory in the championship.
Fabregas’ words
“We won with merit, we have to continue to understand where to improve. We can’t allow late goals like against Bologna and Bergamo: we have to improve here. In the first half we could have done better, been more cynical and finalized the actions. We conceded a lot in the final , perhaps due to a physical decline: I have to find the right way to close the match after having dominated.”
Zanetti’s words
“In the first half the fault was ours, we prepared the match to be aggressive, but we failed to be so. We were always late and blocked, never aggressive. We had the wrong attitude. What we wanted to do we did in the second half, that is, fighting for all the balls when we were sent off, they reacted well.
