COMO (ITALPRESS) – Como won, bringing home three crucial points in the salvation zone, prevailing over a Lecce side that was never dangerous and passive to the many advances of the white and blue. Nico Paz and Patrick Cutrone the signatures on the success of the Lombardi, who despite a missed penalty by the former Real Madrid man at the half-hour mark still managed to make their overall superiority count. Como started strongly, with Cutrone’s play from the edge of the area kicking with his right hand hitting the crossbar when Falcone was beaten. The match then remains fairly deadlocked, until 30′, when Baschirotto tries to intervene on the loose ball left by Falcone’s rebound on Paz’s shot but hits Cutrone in the box; penalty kick and the same Paz to present himself on the penalty spot, with Falcone, however, who senses the Argentine’s attempt and pushes it away. It remains at 0-0, until the end of the first half of the game, with Como that does not lose heart, however, and returns to the field with the same verve that, at 4′ of the resumption, leads to the actual advantage: protagonist, this time in a positive way, again Nico Paz, who on the ball served by Cutrone on the edge of the area fishes his left-handed shot that hits the post on Falcone’s left and slips into the net. He then made it up to the Real Madrid school trequartista, leading his side forward and giving Fabregas’ eleven a new boost, in front of a Lecce that was not very proactive after the penalty parried by its goalkeeper and stunned by the goal conceded early in the second half. A snapshot of the momentum of the match is the goal that was cancelled out for the white-blacks at 56′, with Cutrone having hit the net but spoiled by an earlier offside position by Fadera. It remained at 1-0, but Como’s dribbling continued and Lecce’s difficulties in the offensive phase, which continued to defend as it happened at 76′, when on Strefezza’s touch underneath headed into the net Coulibaly intervened and saved on the line. It’s just the prelude for the 2-0 Comasco, which comes thanks to Cutrone, good in the 80th minute in sending into the net a ball left in the small area by Falcone’s rebound. It was the goal that put an end to the match, which decreed Como’s overtaking in the standings over the Salentini, dangerously in 16th place. – photo Image – (ITALPRESS).
