Como made the trip to Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Friday, 4 September 2026 and left with a result that will have Genoa fans wondering what hit them. The visitors were ruthless from the start, racing into a 3-1 lead by half-time and never letting Genoa back into it. Assane Diao was at the heart of everything good about Como's performance, picking up the man of the match award with a rating of 9.5 out of 10 that barely does justice to how much trouble he caused. Genoa huffed and puffed, and even nicked five corners to Como's four, but it counted for little against opponents who looked sharper in every area that mattered. The numbers tell the story plainly enough. Como finished with 20 shots to Genoa's 11, putting nine on target compared to just two for the hosts, and controlled the ball for 62 percent of the game. That kind of dominance was always going to show up on the scoreboard, and it did, 1-4 the final reading. For Genoa, there's plenty to fix. For Como, it's the sort of away win that sends a message early in the season.
The Matchup
Genoa 1-4 Como was the final score at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, in a game where Como did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 38% in favour of Genoa, Como made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 11 attempts from Genoa against 20 from Como over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Como, and Genoa pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood. Games like this can carry real weight later in the season, so this is a scoreline worth remembering. Below is a closer look at how the match broke down, statistically.
