Como dominated against Parma, hit the woodwork twice and eventually secured a 1-0 win at the Stadio Sinigaglia thanks to Alberto Moreno’s third goal this season.

Cesc Fagregas was forced to cope without Como star Nico Paz, so Maxence Caqueret, Assane Diao, and Martin Maturina started behind the sole striker Anastasios Douvikas.

Como 1-0 Parma match report Como dominated possession and had the best chance throughout the game against a Parma side that mostly relied on counter-attacks to hurt the home side.

Como collected several corner kicks before the break and were unlucky towards the end of the first half, hitting the woodwork with Greece international Douvikas, their top scorer this season.

The Azzurri continued to push in the second half: Diao won the ball high up the pitch, but his shot from inside the box was too weak, allowing Suzuki to intervene and deny Douvikas on the rebound.

Como hit the post again, this time with a Martin Baturina free-kick, but the move continued and led to Alberto Moreno’s goal with a curler at the far post.

Como introduced Alvaro Morata, and the Spaniard missed the chance to score his first Serie A goal this season, all alone in front of Suzuki.

Como’s win allows the Azzurri to move to 5th, still two points below a Champions League spot and ahead of Juventus thanks to a better head-to-head record.

What happened

Como controlled the match against Parma, created the clearer chances and struck the woodwork twice before Alberto Moreno scored the decisive goal in the 58th minute. Parma had a Mateo Pellegrino equaliser ruled out for offside and struggled to offer sustained attacking threat beyond counters and set plays. Como achieved the win despite missing Nico Paz from the starting lineup, while substitute Alvaro Morata also missed a late chance. The victory moves Como into fifth place in Serie A, keeping their Champions League push alive heading into the final stretch.

Chance analysis

This matters because Como translated territorial dominance into a narrow but crucial three points in a high-leverage late-season match. Their ability to win without Nico Paz starting suggests some attacking resilience, but the one-goal margin and missed chances also indicate limited finishing margin for error in the run-in.

Impact

Como's win strengthens their top-four chase and modestly improves sentiment around their next matches.

AI Insight

Upgrade Como slightly on team strength and motivation, but note that chance conversion still lagged behind their underlying control.
