On Saturday, in the 25th round of Serie A, Fiorentina celebrated a hard-fought victory at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium against Como 1907. The hosts found themselves at the back foot with an own goal by Fabiano Parisi in the second half (76’). However, Como’s Nicolò Fagioli opened the scoring in the first half (25’), followed by Moise Kean doubling their lead with a penalty in the second half (53’).
Nicolò Fagioli received widespread acclaim for his spectacular strike 25 minutes into the game. The midfielder initiated the play from the left flank and, upon reaching the penalty area, shot past Jean Butez into the right corner of the goal.
Despite Como 1907 registering 16 shots against Fiorentina’s 7, their efforts were in vain, as only 3 shots were on target, while 13 went off course.
Fiorentina’s midfield maestro, Nicolò Fagioli, had an outstanding performance, scoring 1 goal and attempting another 2 shots. Moise Kean also shone bright, contributing with his own goal.
The head coach of Como 1907, Francesc Fàbregas Soler, deployed a tactical formation of 4-5-1, with Jean Butez as the goalkeeper; Mërgim Vojvoda, Jacobo Ramón, Marc Kempf, and Álex Valle in defense; and Máximo Perrone, Lucas Da Cunha, Nicolas Kühn, Nicolás Paz, and Martin Baturina in midfield, while Anastasios Douvikas led the attack.

Matteo Marchetti served as the referee overseeing the match.
