Como 2-1 Parma: Como held their nerve at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia, turning sustained pressure into a 2-0 lead before Parma’s late reply made the closing moments less comfortable than the scoreline had seemed likely to be.
On Monday evening, 14 September 2026, in Serie A’s fourth round, Como began with purpose and repeatedly forced Parma to defend corners and second balls. El Bilal Touré had tested Robert Sánchez from an ambitious early attempt for the visitors, while Mandela Keita later fired over, but the home side quickly established the greater threat.
Moise Kean was denied after Yan Couto found him in the area, while Máximo Perrone, Marc Oliver Kempf and Kaiki all missed opportunities from Como’s attacking set pieces. Nico Paz was central to much of the early pressure, with his efforts blocked before he helped create the opening goal in the 23rd minute. Following a corner, Jacobo Ramón struck from close range into the top-left corner to put Como ahead.
Parma had moments before the interval. Edoardo Corvi had been called upon to deal with Como’s attempts, but his side also won corners of their own, with Vincent Sierro shooting narrowly wide and Simone Lontani heading just over the bar in first-half stoppage time. Como nevertheless went into the break with a one-goal advantage.
Como’s pressure finally produces a second
The home team resumed on the front foot, although Parma initially found a few openings. Nesta Elphege missed from the left side of the box, while Lontani sent a counter-attacking effort wide. Como then altered their forward options in the 55th minute, introducing Jesús Rodríguez and Maxence Caqueret for Assane Diao and Martin Baturina. Parma responded by bringing on Matija Frigan for Touré.
With the match still in the balance, Como sent on Tasos Douvikas for Kean on 64 minutes. Parma added Adrián Bernabé and David Romero in place of Vincent Sierro and Nesta Elphege. The visitors came close to an equaliser when Romero struck the left post from close range after Emanuele Valeri’s delivery, having already tested Sánchez from distance. Frigan also saw a header blocked.
Como continued to create. Nico Paz had an effort stopped, Jesús Rodríguez was repeatedly involved in attempts around the penalty area, and Douvikas had a shot saved. Samuele Ricci and Luis Milla replaced Paz and Lucas da Cunha in the 80th minute, while Parma introduced Pontus Almqvist and Giovanni Fabbian for Sascha Britschgi and Lontani.
The decisive-looking second arrived in the 83rd minute after a sequence of Como efforts. Rodríguez had shots blocked and saved, Douvikas was denied from close range, and Perrone’s follow-up was also stopped. Kaiki eventually converted Perrone’s assist from the middle of the box, making it 2-0.
Como still looked for a third, with Yan Couto’s effort saved and Milla sending a chance wide, but Parma found a response in the second minute of three added on. Almqvist supplied Romero, who finished low with his right foot into the left corner. It was too late to change the outcome, however, and Como saw out a 2-1 victory.
Maxence Caqueret received Como’s only recorded yellow card, for a dangerous challenge in the 76th minute. The result gives Como a home victory shaped by their repeated attacking waves, while Parma are left to reflect on Romero’s strike against the post and a late goal that arrived after the contest had already moved away from them.
