Como defeats RB Leipzig in first ever Champions League match

Como won its first-ever Champions League match on September 10, 2026, defeating RB Leipzig 4-1 at Stadio Sinigaglia. Martin Baturina opened the scoring for the Italian club before providing an assist to Tasos Douvikas. Assane Diao and substitute Maxi Perrone added goals to secure the victory, while Andrija Maksimovic scored the lone goal for the visitors. Nico Paz, who opted to remain with the team this summer despite interest from Real Madrid, contributed two assists during the historic win. Como stands as the only Italian team to record a victory on the opening matchday of the tournament, as other Serie A sides faced losses or draws. The stadium, recently renovated to satisfy UEFA standards, hosted the fixture to conclude a triumphant debut for the club in the premier European competition.
