Roma vs Internazionale
On September 19, 2026, the Serie A stage was set for a compelling encounter between Como and Parma Calcio 1913. Both teams entered the pitch with clear tactical objectives, setting the tone for a match defined by strategic discipline and sudden bursts of offensive quality.
Como Take the Initiative
The match began with Como asserting their dominance, controlling a significant 64% of the ball. Their patient build-up play bore fruit in the 23rd minute when Nico Paz provided a perfectly weighted assist for Jacobo Ramon. After an initial effort by Marc-Oliver Kempf was blocked, Ramon was quickest to react, tapping the ball home with his left foot to give the hosts a deserved lead. Parma Calcio 1913 struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, often falling into offside traps or seeing their corner deliveries from Vincent Sierro cleared by a resolute home defense.
Substitutions and Strategic Control
As the second half progressed, both managers looked to the bench to influence the flow of the game. At the 55th minute, Como introduced Maxence Caqueret, a move that would prove decisive. In the 83rd minute, Caqueret turned provider, setting up Kaiki for a powerful left-footed strike that doubled the lead. With a 2-0 cushion, the home side looked to be cruising toward a comfortable victory. Despite the pressure, Parma refused to capitulate, making tactical shifts by bringing on Pontus Almqvist and David Romero to inject late energy into their frontline.
Late Drama at the Death
The closing stages were marked by high tension as Parma Calcio 1913 mounted a desperate late charge. In the second minute of stoppage time, the substitutes combined brilliantly as Pontus Almqvist found David Romero, who slotted the ball home with his right foot to make it 2-1. The goal sparked a frantic final two minutes, with Parma launching long balls into the area. However, clearances from Mariano Troilo and Enrico Del Prato ensured that Como held onto their advantage until the final whistle, securing a hard-fought three points.
