Como
Como played with ambition and intensity, dominating possession with 67% and creating 16 shots, but only three of those were on target. Their midfield controlled the tempo, but the final ball was often lacking, and they struggled to convert chances into goals. A late surge saw them halve the deficit, but discipline let them down with four yellow cards and a crucial red that ended their hopes. Despite their attacking intent and territorial advantage, Como’s lack of clinical finishing and composure under pressure proved costly. Their defensive lapses at key moments allowed Fiorentina to build a decisive lead.

Tactical Analysis
Como lined up in a 4-2-3-1, looking to control the midfield and build attacks through patient possession. Their double pivot of M. Perrone and L. Da Cunha allowed them to recycle possession and push their fullbacks high, but Fiorentina’s compact 4-3-3 shape limited space between the lines. Como’s wide players struggled to break down Fiorentina’s disciplined back four, and their reliance on intricate play around the box led to few clear-cut chances. Fiorentina’s approach was pragmatic: they sat deep, absorbed pressure, and broke quickly through the pace of Kean and Harrison. Their midfielders pressed selectively, forcing Como into wide areas and capitalizing on turnovers. After taking a two-goal lead, Fiorentina dropped even deeper, inviting pressure but defending their box with numbers and discipline. Substitutions in the second half helped shore up the midfield and see out the result.
Turning Point
Jack Harrison’s goal in the 54th minute gave Fiorentina a crucial two-goal cushion, forcing Como to chase the game and leaving them exposed at the back.
