Good evening and welcome to the Football Italia Liveblog for coverage of Monday evening’s matches: Hellas Verona vs. Cremonese and Como vs. Genoa.

Jamie Vardy is in line to make his debut for Cremonese tonight, which will be his first fixture since leaving Leicester City after 13 years earlier this summer.

There will also be a reunion of former Arsenal teammates Cesc Fabregas and Patrick Vieira, who will lead out Como and Genoa as head coaches in the final match of the third round.

90'+6

Full-time: Como 1-1 Genoa

And that’s it at the Stadio Sinigaglia. Ramon’s late red card completely turned this game on his head. Como were cruising towards a routine victory, but were pegged back almost immediately after being reduced to 10 men.

90'+2

Como 1-1 Genoa - Ekuban!

Genoa make their numerical advantage count almost immediately! Ekuban grabs his side’s first league goal of the campaign. Norton-Cuffy’s first attempt was cleared, but Ekuban was on hand to poke home.

There was contact, he was sliding in, but was there excessive or dangerous force?

2025-09-15 21:35:57

88'

Como down to 10!

Ramon is sent off for a lunge on Junior Messias. Perhaps slightly on the harsh side to show him a straight red. This will be checked.

Baturina tries to cross in for Addai, but Genoa cut it out.

45'+1

Half-time: Como 1-0 Genoa

Nico Paz tries to bend one in off his left foot from the right edge of the area and wins a Como corner, but the whistle goes for half-time before the set-piece is delivered.

2025-09-15 20:34:47

44'

Como break with Rodriguez after the Genoa corner. He is stopped by a firm, but fair challenge on the halfway line.

A comical slip from Butez gives Genoa a corner from absolutely nothing.

2025-09-15 20:30:07

40'

Rodriguez tries to beat Leali from the edge of the area, but his shot is low and straight down the middle. No problem for the Genoa stopper.

2025-09-15 20:28:20

34'

So close to the equaliser!

Malinovskyi feeds Martin and the left-back cuts the ball back for Colombo, whose effort is smothered. Alex Valle then does brilliantly to get his body in front of Masini’s follow-up.

2025-09-15 20:21:25

29'

How have Como not scored?

Vojvoda releases Kuhn, who carries the ball from the halfway line to the six-yard box, but Leali makes the save for Genoa. Morata then places the rebound off target from the other side of the six-yard box.

2025-09-15 20:17:59

24'

Rodrigues lifts a ball in towards Kuhn in the area, but the German can’t quite pull off his attempted acrobatic volley.

15'

Play is back underway after a brief pause while VAR checked for a potential foul in the build-up to Nico Paz’s goal. Nothing found. 1-0 Como.
