Como 2-0 Sassuolo: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Como 2-0 Sassuolo in the Serie A on Friday, 28 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Como took control early in the match, opening the scoring in the 14th minute through A. Douvikas, who found the net without an assist to give the hosts a deserved lead based on their initial dominance. Sassuolo struggled to respond, picking up a yellow card for Ismael Koné in the 37th minute, while Como maintained pressure heading into the break. The first half ended with Como ahead, their possession edge already evident at 63% overall.

The second half saw Como extend their advantage in the 53rd minute, with A. Moreno scoring assisted by N. Paz to make it 2-0. Sassuolo made an early substitution at 51 minutes, with C. Volpato replacing D. Berardi, but Como continued to dictate play, earning yellow cards for Maxence Caqueret at 48 minutes and Jacobo Ramón at 73 minutes. Both teams utilised all five substitutions, including Como’s triple change at 59 minutes where S. Posch replaced M. Vojvoda, M. Baturina replaced J. Rodriguez, and L. Da Cunha replaced M. Caqueret, helping them see out a comfortable victory without further scoring.

Como’s 63% possession underlined their command of the game, allowing them to create more opportunities and complete 50 successful dribbles compared to Sassuolo’s 25, which directly contributed to their two goals and limited the visitors’ attacking threat. Corners were even at 4-4, but Como’s single assist on the second goal highlighted better build-up play, while the lack of penalties or injury-time goals kept the match straightforward. Yellow cards totalled two for Como and one for Sassuolo, with no reds, suggesting a disciplined encounter despite the bookings influencing midfield battles.

Substitutions played a role in maintaining momentum, as both sides used all five: Como refreshed their lineup with changes at 59 minutes (S. Posch for M. Vojvoda, M. Baturina for J. Rodriguez, L. Da Cunha for M. Caqueret), 82 minutes (N. Kuhn for J. Addai), and 90+1 minutes (M. O. Kempf for M. Perrone), bolstering their defence late on; Sassuolo’s adjustments at 51 minutes (C. Volpato for D. Berardi), 69 minutes (A. Fadera for A. Lauriente and L. Moro for A. Pinamonti), and 82 minutes (F. Cande for J. Doig and E. Iannoni for I. Kone) aimed to spark a comeback but failed to alter the scoreline.

The match’s decisive moments came from Como’s clinical finishing, starting with A. Douvikas’ goal in the 14th minute that set the tone and rewarded their early pressure. A. Moreno’s strike in the 53rd minute, assisted by N. Paz, effectively sealed the win by doubling the lead and deflating Sassuolo’s hopes. Key turning points included Sassuolo’s yellow card to Ismael Koné at 37 minutes, which disrupted their rhythm, and Como’s triple substitution at 59 minutes that injected fresh energy, while their own yellow cards to Maxence Caqueret at 48 minutes and Jacobo Ramón at 73 minutes had minimal impact on the overall control.

Como lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which provided a solid defensive base while allowing attacking midfielders to support the lone striker effectively, with partnerships in midfield helping to dominate possession and create scoring chances.

Sassuolo deployed a 4-3-3 shape, aiming for width and quick transitions, but their midfield trio struggled to assert control against Como’s setup, limiting the impact of their forward line.

A. Douvikas earned Man of the Match honours for his early goal in the 14th minute that broke the deadlock and set Como on course for victory, combining well in attack and contributing to the team’s dribbling dominance throughout the game.
