A Tactical Masterclass in Turin
Matchday 12 of Serie A saw Como travel to Torino with Cesc Fabregas deploying a 4-2-3-1 lineup.
Álvaro Morata started up front, while Jesus Rodríguez, Nico Paz and Aday formed the attacking trio. Perrone and Da Cunha anchored midfield, with Alex Valle, Diego Carlos, Jacobo Ramón and Ivan Smolcic sitting ahead of goalkeeper Jean Butez.
Como’s starting squad held a collective value of €158 million—more than double Torino’s €63 million.
Many fans on 12BET Malaysia expected a tight match, but what followed was a one-sided showcase.

Second Half Collapse Sends Torino Spiralling
Como retook the lead in the 52nd minute, again through the Rodríguez-Aday connection.
Aday received the assist and smashed a long-range effort beyond the goalkeeper.
Torino made a series of changes—Nkunku, then Angeliño and Abouhlal—but none improved the flow of play. Their structure soon collapsed completely.
In the 71st minute, Jacobo Ramón scored a close-range header from a Perrone delivery.
Just five minutes later, Perrone registered another assist, putting Nico Paz through on goal. Paz calmly slotted in a low finish for 4–1.
The humiliation ended in the 86th minute when substitute Baturina carried the ball to the edge of the box and fired home the fifth. Como completed a stunning 5–1 demolition.
Fabregas Shines With Ten Match Unbeaten Run
Under Fabregas, Como are now 10 league matches unbeaten, with only one loss in 12 games.
Their 21 points place them sixth—above Juventus.
Possession was 65% in Como’s favour, with 15 shots and 7 on target. Torino managed only 10 shots, 2 on target, and zero goals from open play.

Nico Paz The 21 Year Old Sensation
The star of the season continues to be 21-year-old Argentine talent Nico Paz.
Against Torino, he scored once, created two key passes and completed four successful dribbles.
Paz has now contributed 9 goals in 12 Serie A appearances—5 goals and 4 assists—making him No.1 in Serie A for total goal involvements.
