GENOA, 05 September, 2026 (News Desk): Como moved to the top of the Serie A table after Senegalese youngster Assane Diao scored twice in a comeback 4-1 victory over Genoa on Friday. The result gave Cesc Fabregas’s side seven points from three matches, continuing an impressive start to the new campaign. Genoa took the lead in the 19th minute when Milutin Osmajic finished a quick counter-attack by converting Lorenzo Colombo’s low cross. Como responded strongly, with Martin Baturina equalising six minutes later before Diao put the visitors ahead on the half-hour mark. Nico Paz then extended Como’s advantage with his first goal of the season.Diao completed the scoring 12 minutes from time, calmly finding the corner after excellent hold-up play by Moise Kean, who made his Como debut following his loan move from Fiorentina. Como, who finished fourth last season to qualify for the Champions League for the first time, are yet to play a home match this season due to renovation work at their Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
