Como Beats Juventus 2-0 for First Win Since 1952

A goal plus an assist from Real Madrid prospect Nico Paz lifted the Djarum-backed club above Juve on goal difference.

Overview

  • Marc-Oliver Kempf put Como ahead in the 4th minute from a Nico Paz assist, and Paz sealed the result with a solo effort late on after beating Andrea Cambiaso.
  • Both teams sit on 12 points, with Como 6th and Juventus 7th due to the hosts’ superior goal difference.
  • The loss is Juventus’ first in Serie A this season and extends a winless run that dates to a 4-3 victory over Inter on September 13 after five straight draws.
  • Como’s rise has been fueled by Djarum’s 2019 takeover when the club was in Serie D, culminating in a return to Serie A and a strong start to this campaign.
  • Paz, 21, joined from Real Madrid in August 2024 with a buy-back clause valid through 2027 and now has four goals and four assists this season, drawing praise from coach Cesc Fàbregas on DAZN.
