In a match corresponding to the twenty-first date of the Serie A in Italy, Como defeated Udinese 4-1 at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium. Nicolás Paz, an Argentine footballer with a past at Real Madrid in Spain, was a key player sealing the rout with a goal in the 46th minute of the second half, after receiving a header pass from Yannik Engelhardt.
The midfielder has 4 goals and 4 assists in 19 matches played in the Italian league. The other goals for Como were scored by Assamme Diao in the 5th minute of the first half, Gabriel Strefezza in the 44th of the same period, and an own goal by Jaka Bijol in the 33rd minute of the second half. Martín Payero scored the only goal for Udinese in the 5th minute of the second half.
Both teams played part of the second half with ten players due to the expulsions of Edoardo Goldaniga (Como 1907) and Oumar Solet (Udinese) for double yellow cards. The victory was important for Como, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, as they moved out of the relegation zone and positioned themselves in thirteenth place with 22 points.
However, the team is only four points away from the danger zone and will face a difficult challenge against Atalanta in the next round. On the other hand, Udinese, in the tenth position with 26 points, will face Roma in their next match.
