No goals but plenty of excitement in Como: the match ends in a goalless draw, with VAR and many protagonists, both positive and negative.

Among them is undoubtedly Elia Caprile, freshly called up to the National team with Gattuso and awarded MVP of the match thanks to super saves that rescue his Cagliari.

❌ VAR and disallowed own goal

Right from the start, there's an incident that sparks debate. At the 19th minute, on Palestra's cross, Alex Valle deflects the ball into his own net while trying to clear the penalty area.

But after a long VAR check and the OFR, referee Pezzutto decides to disallow the goal.

Analyzing the APP, meaning the entire attacking play of Como, the referee spots a foul by Palestra on Valle in the action that continues and ends with the Spaniard's own goal. 

🧱 Addai and Nico Paz hit the Caprile wall

In the final moments of the first half, Como tries with Addai and Nico Paz. The former AZ Alkmaar player challenges Caprile, who says no.

The Cagliari goalkeeper responds shortly after: on the Argentine's attempt, Caprile again says no and keeps the score locked at 0-0.

💥 Sparks between Morata and Mina and a substitution

Tension between Alvaro Morata and Yerry Mina. The Cagliari defender provokes the Como striker, who falls into the trap and strikes the opponent.

The Spaniard, booked by the referee, shouts to Fabregas and his bench: “Substitute me!”. Request granted, with Como's coach bringing in Douvikas.

⛔ Morata and the longest drought

Another match ends without a goal for Alvaro Morata, who finishes Como-Cagliari goalless.

The Spanish striker is still at 0 in the goal column in this Serie A after 11 appearances: as reported by DAZN, this is the longest goal drought in his career.

In 2014, in his first year with Juventus, Morata broke his drought in the tenth match.
