Little Fàbregas Creates Miracle! Como's First Serie A Victory in Years

In the early hours of September 25, Como secured a 3-2 victory over last season’s Europa League champions, Atalanta, in the fifth round of Serie A. This marked the first time in 21 years and 4 months that Como had won a match in Serie A, a historic moment witnessed by Como fans.

In this eye-catching match, the Como team, led by Fàbregas, managed to secure three precious points on Atalanta’s home turf. Notably, just one week earlier on the same ground, Atalanta drew 0-0 with last season’s Premier League runners-up, Arsenal, in a Champions League match, demonstrating their formidable strength.

The game started with challenges for Como. Atalanta’s Zappacosta scored the first goal with a powerful shot from outside the box. However, this only spurred the fighting spirit of the Como team, who then launched a surprising counterattack.

Early in the second half, Como’s Strefer Zapata used his exceptional individual skills to break through the encirclement of three Atalanta defenders, equalizing the score. Soon after, at the 54th minute, a long-range shot by Martínez hit Kolašinac and deflected into the net, putting Como in the lead.

At the 58th minute, Badella made an impressive breakthrough, scoring from close range to extend the lead to 3-1, leaving the Atalanta fans stunned. Despite adopting a conservative defensive strategy after taking the lead, Como did not let Atalanta off easily. It was not until the 90+9 minute mark that Ademola Lookman scored a penalty for Atalanta, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome, and the final score remained 3-2.

This victory marked Como’s first win in the 2024/25 Serie A season, placing them 15th in the league table with 5 points. Meanwhile, Atalanta stands at 12th place with 6 points. The performance not only earned the team three crucial points but also injected a significant boost of confidence into the squad.
