What happened

Como 1907 beat Genoa 4–1 at the Luigi Ferraris on 4 September, their second consecutive league win of the season. Genoa opened the scoring through Milutin Osmajić, but Martin Baturina equalised six minutes later before Assane Diao and Nico Paz put Como 3–1 ahead by half-time.

Diao added the fourth in the 79th minute after debutant Moise Kean created the chance. Samuele Ricci also made his Como debut from the bench. The club recorded 885 travelling Como supporters at Marassi.

The Como view

The useful part of this result is not simply that Como scored four. It is that the team did not let the first setback decide the shape of the evening. Three different starters scored before the interval, then a new forward helped create another goal after coming on.

That distribution matters. A side with European football on its calendar cannot rely on one route to goal or one player carrying every decisive action. Baturina changed the momentum, Diao attacked the game twice, Paz added the third, and Kean contributed immediately without needing the match to be built around him.

There is also a warning inside the celebration. Como conceded first, away from home, and the scoreline can make the opening difficulty disappear from memory. Against stronger European opposition, recovery time will be shorter and transitions will be punished more severely. The answer at Marassi was excellent; the initial question still belongs in the review.

For supporters, this is the kind of win that expands expectation. The best response is not to pretend every week will now finish 4–1. It is to recognise the traits worth demanding again: composure after conceding, multiple attacking threats, and substitutes who change the game rather than merely close it.

Bottom line

Como’s attack looked bigger than a starting eleven at Genoa. The next step is to carry that collective threat into a very different test under the European lights.
