COMO 1907 1-2 FIORENTINA
By Our Man in Italy
Cesc Fabregas learned a harsh lesson in star power today as his stylish Como side were outshone by Fiorentina’s clinical heavyweights in a 2-1 heartbreaker at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Despite the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Como, all eyes were on the pitch as some of the most expensive talent in Italy went toe-to-toe. In the end, it was the Florence outfit that had the extra sparkle when it mattered most.
Kean’s Cutting Edge
The man of the hour, Moise Kean, continued his redemption arc with a performance that screamed “Premier League quality.”
The former Everton man was a physical nightmare for the Como backline, eventually finding the net with a predator’s finish that silenced the home crowd.
Kean wasn’t alone in his brilliance.
Yacine Adli, on loan from AC Milan, ran the show from the engine room, spraying passes like a seasoned quarterback.
His vision was the difference-maker, carving open a Como defense that had looked solid for the opening half-hour.
Como’s Classy Creators
It wasn’t all one-way traffic. Fabregas has built a team in his own image—technical, brave, and easy on the eye.
Nico Paz, the Real Madrid starlet who has been the talk of the town, showed exactly why the giants in Spain kept a buy-back clause.
His dancing feet and threaded through-balls had the Fiorentina defenders chasing shadows.
Patrick Cutrone gave the home fans hope, leading the line with the grit of a man who knows every blade of grass in Lombardy. But while Como had the possession, Fiorentina had the “Killers.”
Fiorentina’s second goal, a thunderbolt from the edge of the area, proved to be the dagger.
Even a late surge from the hosts couldn’t find the equalizer, leaving Cesc to rue missed opportunities.
The “Viola” march on toward the European spots, proving that while Como has the glamour and the lakeside views, Fiorentina still has the stars who know how to win ugly.
