Como marked their first-ever UEFA Champions League appearance with a spectacular win, crushing RB Leipzig 4-1 at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Martin Baturina, Anastasios Douvikas, Assane Diao and M\u00e1ximo Perrone delivered the goals on a historic European night for Cesc F\u00e0bregas\u2019 side.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For football fans in Tanzania following the 2026\/27 UEFA Champions League<\/strong>, Como’s remarkable rise has quickly become one of the competition’s most fascinating stories. Just over two years after competing in Serie B, the Italian club is now celebrating a convincing victory on Europe’s biggest club stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baturina Makes Como History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There were few signs of nerves from the Champions League newcomers. Como immediately pressed Leipzig with the high-intensity football that has become a feature of F\u00e0bregas’ team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maarten Vandevoordt was called into action early, denying Anastasios Douvikas<\/strong> and Nico Paz<\/strong>, although the move was eventually ruled offside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The breakthrough soon arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Baturina<\/strong> recovered brilliantly after initially losing his footing, shifted the ball onto his right foot and drilled a composed finish into the bottom corner to score Como’s first-ever Champions League goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a historic moment\u2014and Como was only getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Douvikas Doubles Como’s Lead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leipzig attempted to respond, with Antonio Nusa testing Jean Butez before the Como goalkeeper also denied Andrija Maksimovi\u0107. Marc Guiu then wasted another opportunity when he headed wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those missed chances proved expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approaching half-time, Baturina turned provider with an excellent pass into the path of Douvikas<\/strong>. The striker held off Castello Lukeba before confidently beating Vandevoordt to make it 2-0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como headed into the interval firmly in control of their Champions League debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assane Diao Puts Como in Command<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leipzig returned with greater urgency after the break, but their attempts to mount a comeback were quickly dashed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slick Como attack involving Douvikas and Paz opened the space for Assane Diao<\/strong>, who fired across Vandevoordt and into the bottom corner for 3-0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts could have added another almost immediately when captain Lucas Da Cunha arrived at the end of a rapid counter-attack, only to volley wide with Leipzig’s goalkeeper stranded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maksimovi\u0107 Gives Leipzig Brief Hope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leipzig finally found their breakthrough when Andrija Maksimovi\u0107<\/strong> produced a superb first-time strike from outside the penalty area to reduce the deficit to 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than panic, Como adapted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u00e0bregas’ men allowed Leipzig more possession while maintaining their defensive structure and waiting for opportunities to counter. Riddle Baku went close for the German side, but a genuine comeback never materialized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Como had the final word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perrone Completes Historic 4-1 Victory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deep into added time, M\u00e1ximo Perrone<\/strong> calmly slotted home Como’s fourth goal, completing an unforgettable 4-1 Champions League victory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result keeps Como unbeaten through their opening four competitive fixtures of the 2026\/27 season and underlines just how far the Italian club has progressed under F\u00e0bregas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Leipzig, the situation is considerably less encouraging. Back-to-back defeats have increased the pressure, particularly with challenging fixtures against Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid<\/strong> approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
