Como triumphed in their Serie A Week 6 match against Hellas Verona on Sunday, September 29, 2024, at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium in Como, Italy. This marks Como’s second 3-2 victory in just five days, bringing their total points to eight in the standings. While there’s still a long way to go, they appear to be on track for a comfortable escape from relegation. On the other hand, it was a tough night for Verona, who faced their third straight defeat, with this one also ending 3-2, leaving them stuck at six points from their first three matches of the season.

This game will mark Hellas Verona’s 1,100th appearance in Serie A, making them the 15th team to achieve this milestone, and the first from the Veneto region.

Patrick Cutrone delivered an outstanding performance! He has already scored two goals in his first four matches of the season with Como, just one goal away from matching his total from last Serie A season (three goals in 28 appearances with Empoli in 2021/22). Cutrone has previously found the net twice against Verona while playing for both Milan and Fiorentina, and this match presented him with the chance to become the first player to score against them with three different teams. And guess what? Cutrone did it! He scored a fantastic brace!

Como dominated the first half, but the second half began with Lazovic scoring a penalty to equalize after Cutrone’s opener. The game shifted dramatically when Suslov was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in quick succession

Looking ahead, Como will face a tough challenge against Napoli in their next match on Friday, while Verona will have a derby clash with Venezia at the Bentegodi on the same day.

In the 43rd minute, Como surged ahead as Patrick Cutrone found the back of the net with a right-footed shot to the center, getting past Hellas Verona’s goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò. The assist came from Alieu Fadera.

Hellas Verona found the equalizer in the 53rd minute when Darko Lazovic took a penalty and successfully converted it with a right-footed shot to the middle of the goal. The penalty was given after Sergi Roberto committed a foul on Lazovic.

Hellas Verona have won only one of their last six games against newly promoted opponents in Serie A, 2-0 against Cagliari on December 23; the Gialloblù have won two draws and three defeats: among the non-relegated teams, no team has lost more times against these teams since the start of last season (three, like Genoa and Atalanta).

After starting the tournament with two wins in their first three games, Hellas Verona have collected two defeats in their two most recent Serie A matches (against Lazio and Torino); the last time the Gialloblù lost at least three games in a row in the competition dates back to November 2023, five on that occasion, two of which were against newly promoted teams.

After drawing against Bologna in their first home game of this championship, Como can close their first two home games in a Serie A season unbeaten for the first time since 1986/87 (one win and one draw on that occasion).

Como have scored six goals so far, their best result in the first five matchdays of Serie A since 1951/52 (six in that case too, the season in which they finished in 12th place); in fact, in their last 10 participations in the top division, the Lombard club had never scored more than four goals at this point in the tournament.
