🔥 DOUVIKAS ANSWERS COULIBALY: SHOW START IN 20'

The first 20 minutes are pure spectacle at Sinigaglia. 

Lecce unlocks the match with a perfectly constructed play on the wings. Banda delivers a precise cross into the box, where Coulibaly times his run perfectly and, with an impeccable twist, beats Butez with a header. A clean execution that gives the Giallorossi the lead and ignites the match.

The reaction is swift: Perrone invents a brilliant through ball that releases Jesus Rodriguez on the run. The Spaniard lifts his head and delivers a ball that Douvikas, forgotten by the defense, only has to tap in. The striker makes no mistake and restores parity, scoring his ninth league goal and twelfth of the season.

😲 JESUS RODRIGUEZ AND KEMPF MAKE COMO FLY

It's a Como show: Jesus Rodriguez scores his first goal in the league. It all starts from a mistake in the build-up: Coulibaly loses his footing in his own third and opens up the field for the opponent's counterattack. Perrone—on fire today—immediately reads the situation, recovers the ball, and plays a perfectly timed vertical pass for the Spaniard's run. One-on-one with Falcone, Rodriguez keeps his cool and slots home the goal that finally gets him off the mark.

Kempf strikes again in the air. Da Cunha delivers a soft and precise free kick, perfectly placed in the center of the box, where the German defender positions himself and rises above everyone else. The impact is strong and unstoppable: ball in the net and fourth goal of the season for the center-back, increasingly dangerous on set pieces.

🙄 DIAO RETURNS TO THE FIELD, BUT MORATA GETS INJURED

After a very long break of 22 matches, Assane Diao finally returns to the field, welcomed back by the Como fans. Good news, but immediately followed by another after the heavy blow of Addai's injury: Alvaro Morata gets injured. Coming on for Douvikas, the Spaniard does not finish the match because of a problem with his right foot. His condition will need to be evaluated.

❌ NICO PAZ LEFT OUT OF THE STARTING XI: FABREGAS CLARIFIES

Fabregas's decision to initially leave Nico Paz on the bench surprised many, as he was absent against Juventus due to a suspension for accumulated yellow cards.

Before the match, the Spanish coach explained that it was purely a tactical choice: the idea is to have him at his best for the first leg of the Coppa Italia against Inter, scheduled for Tuesday evening in Como and valid for the semifinals. During the second half, the Argentine came on: 25 minutes plus stoppage time were played by him.
