The postponement between Como and Genoa ends in a tie. Next I Lariani in the first half with a pearl of Nico Paz, but to Genoa the merit of having believed it to the end, ravenous in exploiting the final six minutes in numerical superiority. In fact, he decides the red headed to Ramon because Como cannot reorganize himself quickly and the equal of Ekuban arrives after a few moments. Intense first half, rough, but fun. Many opportunities for both teams but to go to the locker room ahead is Como thanks to a splendid goal by Nico Paz, more and more decisive. At 13 ‘the Argentine takes a ride on himself by freeing himself of two opponents then starts an impregnable accident of the left for Leali. Once again Nico Paz shows all his quality by unlocking a complicated and physical game.
Alvaro Morata, for the first time owner with the Como shirt, struggles to build for the intense and physical pressing of Genoa. The rossoblu, in fact, take the field aggressive and dictating a very high pace trying to stop the fast maneuver of Como in the bud. In half an hour the Larians could also find the doubling but Morata drives sensationally: first Leali denies the goal to Kuhn with a great parade, then the Spanish from two steps does not reiterate on the goal and kicks out. Shortly after overturning in front and it is Genoa who touches the goal: great passage of Malinovskyi for Martin who in turn serves Colombo. The striker’s shot is rejected by the Como goalkeeper and after a series of beats and replies the ball goes to Masini but Valle is overcome by deviating in the corner. In the second half Genoa does not change register with hard revenues on the ball carrier but Como is always dangerous. At 18 ‘Caqueret’s shot ends up just to the side. Fabregas recalls Morata who could have better exploited the owner chance.
Then it is Vojvoda to still engage Leali who rejects two hands. For the last quarter of the match, both Fabregas and Vieira insert fresh forces. The game seems to slip away without particular twists but two minutes from the end the episode that changes everything: Ramon, the Centrale del Como, inexplicably halfway through the field, enters the Messias. The referee has no doubts and extracts direct red. The VAR check confirms. Perhaps a little severe decision but it is a senseless foul in that area of the field two minutes from the end. And from that moment, with the Como forced to defend the advantage in numerical inferiority for six minutes of recovery, everything changes. At 92 ‘Sergi Roberto saves a lob by Norton-Cuffy on the line but hits his pole, the ball arrives in Ekuban who finds the same. In the 95th minute other sensational head for Vasquez but Butez Para. Thus ends in a tie a non -trivial game, a right result but other points lost on the street for the ambitious Como.
