Como secured a commanding 3-0 victory away at Pisa in a match marked by squandered opportunities and a dramatic late twist at the Arena Garibaldi.
The first half was evenly matched, with both teams creating chances but failing to break the deadlock.
Pisa appeared the more direct threat, with Matteo Tramoni and M’Bala Nzola coming close, while Como tested goalkeeper Adrian Šemper through efforts from Nico Paz and Kühn.
Jean Butez was called into action early, denying Simone Canestrelli and later producing sharp saves to keep the score level at halftime.
Pisa started the second half on the front foot and looked poised to take control, but Butez twice denied Gabriele Piccinini from close range. Como weathered the storm and struck decisively on the counterattack.
The breakthrough came in the 68th minute when Maximo Perrone pounced on a loose ball outside the area, driving a low effort into the center of the net to give Como the lead.
Eight minutes later, the visitors doubled their advantage in clinical fashion as Anastasios Douvikas latched onto a perfectly weighted through ball, sprinted clear, and finished calmly into the bottom corner.
Pisa were given a lifeline late in the match when a foul by Caqueret inside the box earned them a penalty. However, Nzola’s spot-kick was expertly saved by Butez, who dived to his left to maintain Como’s clean sheet and effectively seal the result.
Despite late pressure from Pisa, Como’s sharp finishing and steadfast goalkeeping proved decisive.
The result highlighted the visitors’ efficiency, leaving Pisa to lament a missed penalty and a lack of composure at critical moments.
Como put the game beyond doubt in stoppage time when Douvikas converted from the penalty spot to complete his brace, securing an impressive three points for Cesc Fabregas’ side in Pisa.
