Como produced a stunning late comeback to defeat Torino 3-1 in Serie A on Tuesday, October 27, scoring three goals in the final stages to extend their winning run across all competitions to four matches.
Torino looked set to claim a fourth consecutive league victory after Che Adams gave the hosts the lead in the first half. However, Jacobo Ramón, Nico Paz and Martin Baturina struck late to complete a dramatic turnaround at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Che Adams puts Torino ahead
Torino took the lead in the 24th minute when Kian Fitz-Jim dispossessed Ramón inside the Como penalty area before delivering a cross for Adams, who finished from close range.
Como responded with several promising opportunities. Anastasios Douvikas threatened in front of goal, while Ramón came close to making amends for his earlier mistake with a header that was stopped by Torino goalkeeper Lucas Perri.
Lucas Da Cunha also sent an effort narrowly wide as Como went into half-time trailing despite creating chances.
Como turn up the pressure
Como continued to push after the interval, with Maxence Caqueret hitting the crossbar as the visitors searched for an equaliser.
Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez also played an important role in keeping Como within reach of the game, making crucial saves, including a superb stop to turn Giovanni Simeone’s close-range header onto the crossbar.
The breakthrough finally arrived in the 81st minute. Nico Paz delivered a cross towards the far post, where Ramón rose to head home and level the score at 1-1.
Nico Paz and Baturina complete the comeback
Six minutes later, Como completed the turnaround. Yan Couto supplied the cross, and Paz headed home to put the visitors ahead 2-1.
Torino struggled to recover, and Como sealed the victory in the second minute of added time when Martin Baturina capitalised on a defensive error to score the third goal.
The final whistle confirmed a 3-1 victory for Cesc Fàbregas’ side, extending Como’s winning run in all competitions to four matches and ending Torino’s three-game winning streak.
The result underlined Como’s determination to keep attacking even when trailing, while Torino were left to rue their inability to protect their lead during the closing stages.
