Como Shock Fiorentina in Florence With 3-1 Victory
Serie A Round 7 took Fiorentina to the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Firenze on 18 October 2026, with Paolo Vanoli's side hosting Cesc Fàbregas's Como under partly cloudy skies and 23-degree conditions, officiated by Marco Di Bello. Despite playing at home, Fiorentina were priced at a distant 8.4 for the win, while Como entered as 2.38 favourites, and the visitors justified that billing emphatically. Como struck twice inside the opening 36 minutes through Mattia Liberali and a Nico Paz header, and although Marin Pongračić halved the deficit just before the break, Anastasios Douvikas restored the two-goal cushion on 57 minutes. Nico Paz, the outstanding performer on the night with a goal, an assist and a match rating of 8.7, was central to nearly everything Como produced. An own goal eluded the visitors' tally, but their control of the contest never wavered as they closed out a comfortable 3-1 win.
