Como, led by Cesc Fabregas, achieved a convincing 4-1 victory over Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium, highlighted by Nico Paz’s goal.
The match corresponds to the third round of Serie A and started with difficulties for the visiting team, as Milutin Osmajic put Genoa ahead in the 19th minute. However, Como responded quickly with a goal from Martin Baturina in the 25th minute, before Assane Diao gave the team the lead in the 30th minute. Nico Paz, who played a key role in the comeback, scored a spectacular goal in the 39th minute after receiving a deep pass from Yan Couto, controlling the ball with his left foot and firing with power to score.
The official broadcast analyst praised the quality of the young Argentine player, stating: “Impressive, another level of player.” Paz, at 21 years old, has become a candidate to wear the number 10 jersey for the Argentine national team following Lionel Messi’s absence, highlighting his growing importance in Argentine football. Diao secured the final 4-1 scoreline in the closing minutes of the match.
With this goal, Paz marks his first of the season in the ongoing Serie A, having started all three of the first matches against Udinese and Napoli. In total, he has achieved 20 goals and 17 assists in 78 matches with Como. Despite being close to scoring a second goal, a shot hit the post before he was replaced by Luis Milla in the 80th minute.
The former Real Madrid forward joined Como on loan in mid-2024 and was recently signed for a considerable sum that, according to Fabrizio Romano, was finalized at a valuation of 60 million euros, although with a higher buy-back option from the Spanish club. Como is scheduled to return to action this Thursday facing RB Leipzig in their first group stage match of the UEFA Champions League, followed by Serie A clashes against Parma and Frosinone before the FIFA international break.
