💣Nico Paz magic not enough, Ekuban stuns Sinigaglia late on

Como is left stunned at the very last moment, just when it seemed that the defeat against Bologna was water under the bridge. Instead, Ekuban silences the Sinigaglia two minutes past the 90th, gifting Vieira his second point in the standings (with the first goal scored by the Rossoblù).

An extraordinary goal by Nico Paz in the 13th minute was not enough, highlighted by a performance of great quality and sacrifice from the Argentine. In fact, in the final moments, Fabregas’s team even risked a cruel twist of fate, when Vasquez’s header ended up in Butez’s hands.

💎 Nico to go PAZ-crazy for

The Diez opens the match in less than a quarter of an hour: a deep ball from Morata, Paz spins around, leaving two opponents behind, and from distance unleashes a rocket that surprises Leali.

It’s the second flash of brilliance from the Argentine talent in this Serie A after the one against Lazio, and just like then, this one is beautiful too.

With Dybala constantly struggling with injuries, the left foot that makes all fantasy football fans dream this year seems to belong to the class of 2004.

But it wasn’t just the goal. Nico Paz also stood out for his sacrifice. He recovered balls in his own half, dropping back several times to stop an attack from the visitors, and never shied away from getting his hands dirty when needed.

It’s no coincidence, then, that before the match Nico received the award from the League as the best U23 player of August...

🟥 Red card for Ramon and everything changes

In the final minutes, however, comes the episode that changes everything. Jacobo Ramon stops Messias’s counterattack with a challenge that referee Piccinini deems worthy of a red card. VAR does not intervene, and so Genoa has the numerical advantage for the final assaults.

Four minutes later, the Rossoblù equalize, with Ekuban picking up Sergi Roberto’s shot off the post and slotting it home, silencing the Como fans. Heartbreak for Cesc, who only climbs one point in the standings.
