NAPLES, AUGUST 30, 2026 \u2013 A smart Como team heads to the Maradona stadium and defeats Napoli 2-1. Fabregas outclasses Allegri in every way. Just like in Genoa, Napoli's first half is unwatchable. Como plays well and scores twice, with two gifts from the Neapolitan defense. Como has plenty of possession in the first half, with Baturina breaking the deadlock in the 17th minute following an assist from Diao. In the 30th minute, Hojlund creates a wonder goal to equalize, but four minutes later, Douvikas scores the winner following a Neapolitan error in the buildup: the Azzurri's first defeat. Cesc Fabregas's team climbs to four points after two games and overtakes Napoli in the standings, who are stuck on three points. Massimiliano Allegri suffers his first defeat as Azzurri coach.<\/p>\n
Baturina opens, Hojlund responds<\/strong><\/p>\n Como attempted to control the game from the start through possession. The visitors occupied the spaces with order, forcing Napoli to defend in their own half.<\/p>\n In the 17th minute, Assane Diao outplayed Mathias Olivera on the wing and passed Baturina in the center of the box. The Croatian midfielder controlled the play and beat Alex Meret with a left-footed shot on the turn.<\/p>\n Napoli responded, relying primarily on the efforts of Matteo Politano. The equalizer came in the 30th minute: Hojlund received the ball on the edge of the box, beat Jacobo Ramon, and made it 1-1 with a powerful left-footed shot into the corner.<\/p>\n Douvikas takes advantage of Napoli's mistake<\/strong><\/p>\n The tie lasted four minutes. In the 34th minute, Napoli lost possession while building from the back under pressure from their opponents.<\/p>\n Anguissa's mistake gave Douvikas the edge, as he recovered the ball and beat Meret to give Como a second lead. The first half ended 2-1 to the Lombardy team.<\/p>\n In the second half, Napoli raised their game. Allegri brought on Leonardo Spinazzola, Alisson Santos, and Kevin De Bruyne, the latter replacing a lackluster Scott McTominay.<\/p>\n Fabregas responded by modifying his team's formation. The additions of Marc-Oliver Kempf and M\u00e1ximo Perrone allowed Como to defend with a 5-4-1 and reduce space in their penalty area.<\/p>\n David Neres and Lorenzo Lucca also came on late on. Napoli increased the pressure, but Como protected their lead and limited the home side's chances.<\/p>\n In the 95th minute, Stanislav Lobotka scored the equaliser with a shot that beat Jean Butez. Referee Luca Pairetto, however, ruled the goal out for Lucca's improper positioning during the build-up.<\/p>\n Como held on to their lead until the end and earned their first three points of the season. Napoli, however, had their winning streak ended after their opening win against Genoa.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NAPOLI, 30 AGOSTO 2026 – Un Como intelligente va al Maradona e batte il Napoli 2-1.
