Como 1907 clinch historic European spot with fifth straight Serie A victory
Como 1907 have secured a historic first-ever European campaign after a dominant 5-0 win over Pisa. The victory marks their fifth consecutive Serie A triumph, lifting them to fourth place. Meanwhile, Inter Milan's title lead was trimmed following a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.
Before kick-off at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a minute's silence honoured Michael Hartono, the club's late co-owner. His family, the Hartono brothers, had taken over Como in 2019, overseeing a rapid rise from Serie C promotion in 2021 to Serie A contention by 2025. This season, goals from top scorers Anastasios Douvikas and Nico Paz, alongside January loan signing Dele Alli—whose spell ended early—helped propel the team into the top four.
Como's latest win extended their unbeaten run and opened a three-point gap over Juventus and Roma. The latter kept their Champions League hopes alive with a narrow victory over Lecce, who now sit in the relegation zone.
At the Stadio Artemio Franchi, Inter's lead at the summit shrank to six points after Cher Ndour's 77th-minute equaliser denied them a win. Romelu Esposito had earlier put Inter ahead, offering a timely boost to Italy's national team before their World Cup play-off against Northern Ireland. Inter's recent stumbles—just two points from their last three games—have revived AC Milan's Scudetto ambitions.
Fiorentina, battling to avoid the drop, saw Moise Kean return from injury. However, the striker squandered key chances, leaving his side still in danger despite the hard-earned point.
Como's fifth straight league win secures their place in next season's European competitions. Inter's draw leaves the title race open, with AC Milan now just six points behind. At the other end of the table, Lecce's loss pushes them deeper into relegation trouble, while Fiorentina's fight for survival continues.
