In a thrilling encounter, FC Como emerged victorious with a narrow 3-2 win over Hellas Verona, largely capitalizing on their superior discipline and set-piece opportunities. The match saw Giovanni Gatti give Como the lead in the first half with a fine finish. Como's ability to maintain composure and shape amid Verona’s aggressive pressing was commendable, seen in their limited fouls (2 compared to Verona’s 10) and only one offside call against them. This disciplined approach allowed them to control the tempo and dictate play, setting the foundation for their success.

Post-interval, Verona responded with fervor, leveling the score early, but their momentum was quickly curtailed by a flurry of yellow cards, totaling four, and a crucial red card that left them a man down in the crucial phases of the game. This indiscipline was perhaps the most significant factor impacting their performance, as the numerous fouls culminated in reduced pressure on Como's defense. Conversely, Como expertly exploited these disruptions in Verona’s structure, particularly through set-pieces, as evidenced by their nine corner kicks which continuously troubled their opposition’s defense.

Como’s resilience was highlighted by their ability to retake the lead twice after being pegged back by Verona. Their second and third goals in the second half underscored their clinical edge, adeptly breaking down a weakening Verona defense. The away team's late comeback attempt through a goal shortly after Como’s third was laudable but ultimately thwarted by their earlier lack of discipline. Overall, Como’s self-control, effective use of set-pieces, and tactical substitutions gave them the edge in this hard-fought Serie A clash.
