By Gianluca Minchiotti

In a dramatic match, Como rallied from behind to defeat Torino 3-2. In the 92nd minute, Vlasic’s error allowed Baturina to seize the moment, scoring with a right‑footed shot for the third goal. Earlier, at the 87th minute, Couto’s cross found Nico Paz, whose superb header gave Como the lead. The visitors had a strong counter‑attack at the 83rd minute, but Paz’s left‑footed shot missed the post. At the 81st minute, Paz delivered a cross that Ramon headed in to level the score. Baturina’s cross‑shot from the left hit the crossbar at the 77th minute. Granata pushed forward at the 74th minute, with Gineitis shooting left‑footed across the goal; Sanchez saved with his foot, sending the ball behind for a corner. At the 71st minute, Paz attempted a long effort but missed. Perri prevented an own goal at the 68th minute when Comuzzo touched Couto’s cross. Vlasic’s left‑footed shot over‑sized at the 67th minute. From a corner, Simeone headed at the crossbar and Sanchez palmed the ball away at the 61st minute. Sanchez saved Belghali’s shot after a move involving Simeone, Adams, and Vlasic at the 60th minute. Belghali’s driving run ended in a miskick at the 57th minute. Caqueret’s one‑two with Paz ended with a right‑footed shot hitting the crossbar at the 54th minute. A weak header from Caqueret fell into Granata goalkeeper’s arms at the 45th minute. Da Cunha’s left‑footed shot from outside the box narrowly missed the target to Perri’s left at the 42nd minute. Ramon forced Perri into a save with a close‑range header at the 32nd minute. Douvikas nearly equalised with a right‑footed touch from close range at the 26th minute. Adams scored a left‑footed volley at the 24th minute after Fitz‑Jim performed a step‑over and found his teammate with the outside of his foot. Sanchez turned a fine effort from Vlasic behind for a corner at the 20th minute. Braganca made suspicious contact with Da Cunha in the Granata penalty area at the 17th minute; Da Cunha went down, but the referee and VAR allowed play to continue, prompting protests. Belghali’s superb run led to a right‑footed shot that Sanchez saved at the 10th minute. Douvikas had a goal ruled out for a marginal offside at the 5th minute.
