Como’s Early Firepower Douses Juventus: A 2-0 Upset in Serie A

Match Recap

Juventus were stunned 2-0 by visiting Como in the seventh round of Serie A on Sunday, marking Juve's first defeat of the season across all competitions and highlighting Como's sharp counter-attacks and solid defense.

Como opened the scoring in the fourth minute after a short corner routine: Nico Baz fed Konya, who returned the ball to Baz and delivered a cross to Mark Kempf at the far post, where the German finished past Di Gregorio.

Juventus replied with several sights at goal, including a long-range effort from Francesco Consisao that sailed over the bar and a Kakiret shot that was cleared by the defense as Como held firm.

Juventus pressed again before halftime, but a late sequence near the Como box produced a save from Di Gregorio and left Como with a narrow lead at the break.

In the second half, Como continued to frustrate Juve's attempts to equalize, with Botiz denying several sharp chances and a close-range rebound thwarted by a defender.

At the 77th minute, Juventus coach Igor Todor made two attacking changes, bringing on Makini and Dusan Vlahovic in a bid to swing the momentum.

With eight minutes left, Nico Baz sealed the result on a rapid counter, sprinting clear and finishing into the far corner to make it 2-0.

Juventus pushed late in search of a lifeline, but Botiz frustrated them again with a late free-kick parried and Como held on for a famous win.

Como rise to 12 points, climbing to fifth, while Juventus remain on 12 but drop to sixth on goal difference.

The opening goal showcased Como’s swift counter, a hallmark of their game plan this season, while the second arrived as Juve pushed for parity and left space at the back for Baz to exploit.

Di Gregorio stood tall in goal for Como, making a string of crucial saves while Kempf and the defensive line cleared danger with crisp, deliberate clearances.

The tempo of the match swung on Como’s initiative in the opening minutes and their organization after the break, keeping Juve at arm’s length and ensuring the hosts could celebrate a structured, disciplined performance.

In response, Juve’s bench signaling changes by Todor attempted to inject pace and variety, but the two-goal cushion in Como’s favor proved too much to overturn.

Final whistle: Como 2-0 Juventus. The result reshapes the table, as Como moves into the top five and Juve finds themselves in sixth, a reminder that one game can alter the chessboard in Serie A.

Humor break: If football had a fashion section, Como would be this season’s chic—tight defense, sharp counters, and a look that says, “We came, we saw, we parked the bus and collected the three points.” Sniper jokes aside, congratulations to Como for turning Sunday into a mini-firework show on the field.

Punchline 1: They say timing is everything in comedy; Como proved it by timing their goals to puncture Juve’s plans like a well-placed punchline. Punchline 2: Juve’s season may have a few plot twists left, but today Como delivered the clean, well-aimed shot that left the audience roaring for their underdog heroes.
