Como secured a crucial 2-0 away victory against Genoa in Serie A on Sunday, April 26, 2026. This significant win allows Cesc Fabregas's side to draw level on points with Roma and put pressure on Juventus in the race for Champions League qualification, with just four games remaining in the season.

The decisive goals for Como were scored by Tasos Douvikas and Assane Diao, securing all three points. Como's performance was solid, demonstrating the team's determination to climb the standings after a challenging period.

Prior to this match, Como had endured a difficult April, going without a win for over a month and seeing their impressive 2025-26 season results tank. This victory against Genoa marks a much-needed turnaround for the club.

Genoa, on the other hand, entered the clash on the back of two consecutive 2-1 victories in Serie A. Despite their good form, coach Daniele De Rossi made four alterations to his starting line-up.

Cesc Fabregas, Como's head coach, made two changes following his side's Coppa Italia semi-final defeat against Inter midweek. His strategy evidently paid off, leading Como to a crucial victory at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa.

With this result, Como not only ended their winless streak but also reignited their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, an exciting prospect for the supporters and the future of the club.
