US Sassuolo vs Como 1907

Sassuolo delivered a sucker-punch to Champions League-chasing Como, scoring twice in the space of two minutes at the end of the first half to claim a 2-1 victory at the Mapei Stadium. Laurienté was the architect, breaking on the counter to feed Cristian Volpato, who chipped the keeper from outside the box on 42 minutes. Two minutes later, Laurienté sent Nzola clean through for a composed finish. Nico Paz pulled one back with a looping header in stoppage time, but the damage was done. Como dominated possession after the break and threw everything forward, but Gianluca Turati was superb in goal for Sassuolo. No red cards or penalties — just a resolute defensive display to seal the win. Back-to-back defeats leave Como's Champions League push in real trouble — Juventus can now open a five-point gap, while Roma close in from below. For Sassuolo, a satisfying three points that cements their mid-table comfort.
