Como Shocked Milan Early, but the Rossoneri Hit Back with Authority
Good morning and welcome. We’re following a fascinating night from Italy, where tradition met ambition and where AC Milan were pushed hard before reminding everyone why they remain one of Serie A’s heavyweights.
This was Como versus Milan, a matchup that, on paper, might look uneven. But anyone watching knew right away this was not going to be simple. Como 1907, backed by wealthy Indonesian owners and riding a wave of confidence this season, came out fearless at home. From the opening minutes, they pressed high, moved the ball quickly and showed no respect for Milan’s reputation.
And that bravery paid off early. Just minutes into the match, Como struck first from a set piece. The stadium erupted. Milan’s defense looked unsettled and suddenly the Rossoneri were chasing the game against a team many still label as underdogs. For much of the first half, Como played with energy and clarity. They attacked through the middle, tested Milan’s goalkeeper more than once and looked every bit like a club that believes it belongs at this level.

Milan, meanwhile, were patient, almost cautious. They absorbed pressure, adjusted their shape and waited. And just before halftime, the turning point arrived. A penalty brought Milan level, calming nerves and shifting momentum at a crucial moment. One-one at the break, but the tone of the match had changed.
The second half told a different story. Milan came out sharper and more decisive. The experience in midfield began to show and the Rossoneri started to control the tempo. Adrien Rabiot became the key figure. His first goal put Milan ahead, rewarding a quick attacking move and exposing the small gaps that inevitably appear when a team like Como starts to tire.
To their credit, Como didn’t collapse. They continued to compete, continued to pass and continued to look for answers. But Milan’s quality was decisive. Late in the game, Rabiot struck again from distance, sealing a three-one victory and silencing the home crowd.
This result matters. Milan become the first team this season to beat Como on their own ground and those three points keep them firmly in the title race, just behind city rivals Inter. For Como, despite the loss, this performance sends a message. They are organized, ambitious and no longer an easy fixture for anyone.
So tonight, Milan leave with the win, but also with a warning. Serie A’s so-called smaller clubs are closing the gap. And as this season continues, matches like this could shape the title race right down to the final weeks.
That’s the story from Como. Stay with us for more football updates as the Serie A drama rolls on.
