Como secured a 2-1 victory over Napoli in the opening home match under new manager Max Allegri on Sunday. The win marked a surprising setback for last season’s Serie A runners-up and was highlighted by strong performances from both teams.
The visitors took an early lead in the 17th minute when Martin Baturina converted a cutback from Assane Diao. Napoli responded swiftly, with new signing Rasmus Hojlund, who recently completed his permanent transfer from Manchester United, equalizing in the 30th minute. Hojlund skillfully maneuvered on the edge of the box after receiving a pass from Amir Rrahmani and struck a powerful left-footed shot into the corner of the net.
However, Como regained the advantage just four minutes later. Baturina, having earlier scored the opening goal, provided an assist to Anastasios Douvikas, who completed the scoring with a precise finish to secure the win for Como.
Napoli’s defeat in this match represented a challenging start for Allegri’s tenure at the club, while Como’s victory offered a promising statement early in the season.
