AS Roma failed to secure a win at Como. According to Voetbal International, the Serie A top-of-the-table clash ended goalless. The Romans played with ten men for over half an hour after Donyell Malen's sending-off.

According to Voetbalprimeur, the Dutch striker received a straight red card for a tackle deemed harsh on Kaiki Bruno. It is the first red card of his career, the site notes. The match was also marked by an injury to the referee, who had to leave the game, Voetbalprimeur adds.

According to NOS, AS Roma managed to hold on for a point. However, Voetbalprimeur indicates the club lost first place in the standings. Como, Feyenoord's future opponent in the Champions League, failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage, De Telegraaf stresses.
