Como Dominates Lazio in Serie A
In a dominant showing in Serie A on Monday, Como secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Lazio, marking their third straight away win with the same scoreline. The result propels Como to within two points of fifth-place Juventus in the league standings, while Lazio finds itself languishing in ninth position, having achieved only a single victory in its last six matches.
Match Highlights
The match began with a rapid-fire goal from Martin Baturina just two minutes in, although he benefited from a fortunate deflection on his shot that guided it into the back of the net. Nico Paz, who has been in remarkable form and was awarded the Serie A Rising Star of the Month award for both August and September, quickly established his influence on the game. As the first half progressed, Paz doubled Como’s advantage with a powerful left-footed strike after a well-timed run.
Despite his strong performance, Paz faced a minor setback when he missed a penalty in the 35th minute, as his attempt was denied. However, he quickly redeemed himself by netting another goal shortly after the interval, receiving an assist from Baturina’s inventive backheel. From the edge of the box, Paz calmly slotted the ball home, showcasing his clinical finishing.
Verona’s Continued Struggles
Meanwhile, in a different fixture earlier that day, Verona’s struggles continued as they held Cremonese to a scoreless draw. Despite Giovane’s efforts to score, the match ended without goals, leaving Verona still at the bottom of the league table. With only 14 points to their name, they remain in last place on goal difference, trailing both Pisa and three points behind Lecce and Fiorentina. The draw, however, provided Cremonese a lift, moving them up three spots to 12th in the standings.
