Key Takeaways:
- Como recorded their fourth win in five competitive matches (D1) after defeating Parma 2-1
- The Lariani’s first-half dominance was highlighted by Jacobo Ramon’s opener, marking their sixth first-half goal of the league season
- Parma’s late goal from David Romero was not enough to prevent Como from extending an unbeaten head-to-head streak to six meetings (W3, D3)
Match Analysis
Como extended their outstanding early-season form with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Parma at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. The hosts, fresh from an impressive UEFA Champions League debut win, posed an immediate threat and seized control in the opening exchanges.
The first clear-cut chance fell to Nico Paz, who, unmarked following a well-designed corner, saw his 17-yard attempt deflected wide. Shortly after, Yan Couto tested Parma’s keeper Edoardo Corvi, whose sharp reaction kept the match goalless by turning the ball away for a corner.

From that set-piece, Cesc Fabregas’ side capitalised. Jacobo Ramon met Paz’s inviting cross from the left and drove the ball home from inside the area, giving Como the lead on 23 minutes. This goal continued Como’s remarkable trend of scoring in first halves, aligning with their pre-match league-leading tally of five first-half goals.
Tactical Overview
Despite Como’s control in the first period, Parma’s defensive unit remained steadfast, preventing the hosts from further extending the margin before the break. The visitors’ best chance of the half came in stoppage time, when Simone Lontani headed a lofted pass from Sascha Britschgi narrowly over the bar from close range.
The second half saw Parma emerge with renewed intent. On 61 minutes, Emanuele Valeri’s delivery reached substitute David Romero just four yards out, but Como’s goalkeeper Robert Sanchez produced an outstanding stop, tipping the ball onto the post to preserve his side’s advantage.
Como then looked to double their lead, with Maxence Caqueret threading a precise pass through to Kaiki Bruno, whose deft chip over Corvi drifted just wide. The home side’s persistence bore fruit on 83 minutes, as Parma’s keeper failed to hold Samuele Ricci’s delivery, allowing Kaiki to pounce and slot in Como’s second from eight yards.
Decisive Moments and Statistics
Como had further opportunities to extend the lead, most notably when Couto’s shot was saved by Corvi, and Caqueret sent the rebound wide. Parma continued to press and managed a consolation deep into added time, with Romero turning in Pontus Almqvist’s cross, but the hosts comfortably saw out the contest to extend their unbeaten record against Parma.
| Team | Score | Goal Scorers |
|---|---|---|
| Como | 2 | Jacobo Ramon (23’), Kaiki Bruno (83’) |
| Parma | 1 | David Romero (90’+) |
Looking Ahead
Parma remain without a league victory and will be aiming to change their fortunes when they face Genoa at home this weekend prior to the international break.
