Serie A | Como 2-0 Juventus: Nico Paz magic breaks the Old Lady | OneFootball

Nico Paz scored one and assisted another, as Como inflicted the first Serie A defeat of the season on Juventus and caught them in the table on 12 points.

The Bianconeri had the opportunity to go joint top of the table, but were missing Gleison Bremer, Edon Zhegrova, Juan Cabal, Fabio Miretti and Arek Milik, so switched to a four-man defence. Jesus Rodriguez and coach Cesc Fabregas sat out bans for the hosts, with Jayden Addai, Sergi Roberto, Assane Diao and Alberto Dossena injured. Alvaro Morata faced his former club in a 3-5-2.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

It was the ideal start for the hosts, as a corner was taken short and the Nico Paz cross found Marc-Oliver Kempf totally unmarked at the back post to volley in undisturbed, lost by Pierre Kalulu.

Kenan Yildiz curled wide on the counter-attack, then squirmed between two to set up Teun Koopmeiners with a shot charged down by Kempf, but Michele Di Gregorio had to palm a Morata effort out from under the bar.

Di Gregorio also got down quickly to fingertip away the Alberto Carlos angled drive, while Jonathan David had the ball in the net only after Teun Koopmeiners was flagged offside on the assist.

Daniele Rugani made a decisive block on Mergim Vojvoda on the stroke of half-time, but Maxence Caqueret failed to turn in the rebound when Di Gregorio parried another Vojvoda angled drive.

Koopmeiners curled a free kick off target and aimed a free header straight at Jean Butez, but just as Juve threw on Dusan Vlahovic to push for an equaliser, they conceded the second.

Nico Paz ran onto a long ball over the top, cut inside Andrea Cambiaso, and bent a perfect left-foot finish into the far bottom corner from the edge of the area.

Cambiaso and Tasos Douvikas fired straight at the goalkeepers, as did substitute Dusan Vlahovic with a free kick in stoppages.
