Como 1907 vs Venezia

Como beat Venezia 1-0 at the Sinigaglia on Sunday. A first-half penalty decided it, and the visitors lost for the third league game in a row. The key spell came late in the first half. Around the half-hour, referee Ferrieri Caputi pointed to the spot for a handball by Milla, but after a VAR review she took the decision back. Eleven minutes later Juan Jesus brought down Douvikas in the box and this time the penalty stood. Lucas Da Cunha scored it in the 42nd minute, sending Stankovic the wrong way with a left-footed finish. Juan Jesus was booked for the foul. Como had about two-thirds of the ball and kept testing Stankovic, who saved from Baturina in the 51st minute. Moreno cleared a Douvikas header off the line in the 72nd, and a late effort from Hainaut went wide. The win lifts Como to fourth on 23 points, one behind Roma. Venezia stay last on 3 points, and Como travel to Inter next.
