Roma 1-0 Como: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Roma 1-0 Como in the Serie A on Monday, 15 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Roma secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Como at home. The first half ended goalless, with both sides creating chances but failing to convert, as Como looked to build on their recent wins against Sassuolo and Torino while Roma aimed to recover from back-to-back defeats to Cagliari and Napoli. The breakthrough came in the 60th minute when Wesley scored for Roma, assisted by Matías Soulé, shifting the momentum after a yellow card to Gianluca Mancini just two minutes earlier.

The second half saw Como push for an equaliser, introducing substitutions like Anastasios Douvikas early on and later Stefan Posch and Jesús Rodríguez, but Roma held firm despite late yellow cards to Stephan El Shaarawy and Wesley. Roma’s win extends their positive home form, following a 2-0 success against Udinese, while Como’s loss adds to their recent away struggles, including a 4-0 defeat to Inter. Overall, Roma’s defensive resilience proved key in a tightly contested match.

Roma edged possession with 53% compared to Como’s 47%, allowing them to control more of the game’s rhythm, though Como matched them closely in successful dribbles at 47 to Roma’s 53, suggesting both teams were effective in individual battles. Roma generated more corners at 6-3, pointing to greater attacking pressure in the final third, while the assist count of 1-0 for Roma highlighted their decisive creativity in the lone goal.

Both sides picked up three yellow cards each, with no reds, indicating a competitive but not overly heated encounter, and Como used all five substitutions – including Anastasios Douvikas replacing Assane Diao at 37’, Stefan Posch for Maxence Caqueret and Jesús Rodríguez for Jayden Addai at 65’, plus Ignace Van der Brempt for Ivan Smolcic and Nicolas Kühn for Martin Baturina at 79’ – in an effort to chase the game, whereas Roma made just two changes with Stephan El Shaarawy replacing Lorenzo Pellegrini at 73’ and Leon Bailey for Matías Soulé at 82’.

The match’s defining moment arrived in the 60th minute when Wesley scored Roma’s winner, assisted by Matías Soulé, shortly after Gianluca Mancini received a yellow card at 58’ for a foul. Como made an early substitution at 37’ with Anastasios Douvikas replacing Assane Diao, and later changes at 65’ saw Stefan Posch come on for Maxence Caqueret and Jesús Rodríguez for Jayden Addai, aiming to inject energy.

Yellow cards accumulated for Como, including to Jayden Addai and Cesc Fàbregas at 55’, Nico Paz at 59’, and Jacobo Ramón at 90+6’, while Roma’s late bookings went to Stephan El Shaarawy at 88’ and Wesley at 89’. Further Como substitutions at 79’ brought Ignace Van der Brempt on for Ivan Smolcic and Nicolas Kühn for Martin Baturina, but these failed to produce an equaliser in a game decided by that single goal.

Roma lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Gianluca Mancini anchoring the defence and Matías Soulé providing creative support behind Wesley up front, forming a key partnership that led to the winning goal. Lorenzo Pellegrini started in midfield before making way for Stephan El Shaarawy at 73’, while Leon Bailey entered late for Soulé at 82’ to help see out the result.

Como deployed a 4-2-3-1 shape, relying on players like Maxence Caqueret and Martin Baturina in midfield before their substitutions at 65’ and 79’ respectively, with Assane Diao starting up front but replaced by Anastasios Douvikas at 37’. Jayden Addai featured in attack until Jesús Rodríguez came on at 65’, and defensive changes saw Stefan Posch for Caqueret and Ignace Van der Brempt for Ivan Smolcic, alongside bookings for Cesc Fàbregas and Nico Paz.

Bwin’s Man of the Match was Wesley, who stood out for Roma with his goal in the 60th minute, creating one big chance and delivering two key passes that helped unlock Como’s defence.
