THE MATCH
Como top of the list for one night. The Larians win in Genoa with a peremptory 4-1 against the rossoblù and enjoy the top of the table while awaiting the other challenges of the third day of the championship. It wasn't enough for Genoa to take the lead with Osmajic, because Baturina, Diao and Paz immediately overturned it in the first half, then Diao closed the score again in the second half, inflicting the third defeat in as many matches on Daniele De Rossi's team.
The home coach launches Osmajic from the first minute, Fabregas responds by confirming Douvikas. Both El Shaarawy and Ehizibue were immediately on the bench in Genoa. Como which, right from the starting whistle, makes it clear how the match will go. Ball possession and enveloping maneuvers until the best situation to finish. Fabregas' team is also beautiful to watch and in the 7th minute engages Bijlow with Couto. Then Nico Paz goes to shoot, Bijlow blocks in two stages. But in the 19th minute Baldanzi throws Colombo to the left, Osmaijc attacks the depth and is ready at the moment of the cross for Genoa's lead. However, it lasts a few minutes. In the 25th minute Baturina surprises Bijlow with a diagonal shot just inside the area, putting the ball into the corner. In the 30th minute the match was overturned: Valle's cross from the right, Ostigard came close but didn't clear it and Diao struck, crossing with a less than perfect Bijlow. In the final Couto catches Paz on the verge of offside, the Argentine beats Vasquez and scores in the area by putting the ball under the crossbar. And the first half ends with the Como team leading by two goals.
Upon returning from the locker room, De Rossi inserted Vitinha for Sabelli and Genoa started aggressive but not very incisive. Ellertsson after a nice combination is deflected for a corner, then Douvikas hits the header but the ball ends up high. Baldanzi looks for personal action but is imprecise and Como controls without problems. Fabregas gives Kean his debut by also bringing in Caqueret, De Rossi plays the Messias card and the new arrival, announced yesterday, Ehizibue, but it is still the Como players who make themselves dangerous. Thanks to Nico Paz who, after a series of rebounds in the rossoblù area, hits the post. On the opposite side it is Messias who worries the Lombard rearguard, with the ball in the corner, but Como on the counterattack scores the poker with Diao served by Kean.
The finale sees the rossoblù not giving up but Como does not disunite or lower their guard despite the poker and takes home a victory that is worth first place for a night. For Genoa the knockouts came against Napoli, Lazio and Como, teams with different objectives. Against Frosinone in the next round we will understand whether it was just the effect of a difficult start or something more serious.
