Como beat Sassuolo 2-0 on Friday, October 24, at the Sinigaglia, in the eighth round of Serie A. It is the Lombard club's third consecutive win, reports TuttoMercatoWeb. ANSA confirms the 2-0 scoreline.
Douvikas, the man of the match
Tasos Douvikas scored both goals of the match. According to kicker, he opened the scoring in the 49th minute, then doubled the lead in the 60th minute. TuttoMercatoWeb mentions a "doubletta personale" for the Greek, who decided the match in the absence of Nico Paz. The Italian media outlet describes him as a "rapace" in its match ratings.
La Repubblica also headlines on Douvikas's performance, stressing that Como play "like in the Champions League" even without Nico Paz. The club thus managed to do without its key player to secure the win.

The team played in a 4-2-3-1 with Butez in goal, a defence made up of Yan Couto, Kambwala, Kempf and Kaiki, a midfield with Ricci and Perrone, and then Caqueret, Da Cunha and Baturina supporting Douvikas. Several changes were made during the match: Smolcic replaced Yan Couto in the 22nd minute of the second half, Ramon, Milla and Addai came on in the 1st minute of the second half, and Lahdo took Douvikas's place in the 44th minute of the second half.
A positive run
This victory confirms Como's good form, as they keep racking up wins in the league. The club appears capable of performing even without some of its key players, as the Italian press points out. Sassuolo, for their part, suffer another defeat in this Serie A season.
Como continue their streak and will need to confirm it in the upcoming matchdays.
