Como make it three goals and three points at the Sinigaglia, punishing Verona’s defensive lapses in a rain-soaked battle. Douvikas, Posch and Vojvoda on target for the Lariani, while Serdar’s equalizer wasn’t enough for the visitors.
Como continue to grow under Cesc Fàbregas — even when not at their most spectacular. Against Verona, the Lariani were clinical rather than dominant, scoring three times from limited chances to secure a 3-1 win and move into fourth place in Serie A, at least temporarily.
The match began with Como striking first: after a free kick from Paz hit the post, Douvikas was quickest to react and slotted home for 1-0. Verona responded well and found a deserved equalizer before halftime when Serdar punished a defensive mix-up between Butez and Caqueret.
Zanetti’s team kept pushing after the break, but their familiar defensive issues resurfaced. A cross from the right found Posch, who rose above everyone to head Como back in front. In stoppage time, with Verona pouring forward in a desperate 4-2-4 setup, Como struck on the counter — Paz led the break and set up substitute Vojvoda to make it 3-1 and seal the points.
Como’s young and ambitious squad continues to learn how to win the games they’re expected to. Verona, meanwhile, return home ruing yet another match lost through errors in both boxes — a recurring theme that keeps them hovering near the danger zone.
