Torino led for 80 minutes. Como scored three times in nine to win 3-1

For 80 minutes, this looked like a routine home win for Torino. Ché Adams had put them ahead on 24 minutes, and nothing in Como's play suggested they had an answer. Then, in the space of nine minutes, they found three.

Jacobo Ramón headed in a Nico Paz corner on 81', Paz himself nodded home a Yan Couto cross on 87', and substitute Martin Baturina added a third deep into stoppage time. Three goals, nine minutes, and a 1-0 lead turned into a 3-1 defeat for the home side.

Nine minutes that undid Torino

Adams had given Torino the perfect platform, finishing off a Kian Fitz-Jim pass to cap a first hour in which Cesc Fàbregas's side barely had the ball — Como held 72.4% of possession and still trailed. That imbalance eventually told. Once Ramón's header found the net, Torino had no response left, and Como kept coming.

Paz was involved in both of the next two goals — scoring the second himself and setting up nothing directly for the third, though it was his influence through the middle of the pitch that had pinned Torino back for most of the second half. Baturina, on for only a few minutes, needed just one touch to make it 3-1.

Line-ups

Marco Baroni sent Torino out in a 3-5-2 with Lucas Perri in goal and Ché Adams paired with Giovanni Simeone up front. Gaetano Oristanio, Sandro Kulenovic and Emirhan Ilkhan were among the second-half substitutes sent on in search of a response that never arrived.

Como lined up in a 4-2-3-1 behind Robert Sánchez, with Nico Paz operating centrally and Yan Couto and Álex Valle providing width. Martin Baturina, Samuele Ricci and Jayden Addai were the substitutes who helped see the game out.

Como keep climbing, Torino stall

The result extends one of the better runs in Serie A right now. Como arrived unbeaten in four across all competitions and have now won four of their last five league matches, scoring eleven and conceding five in that stretch — form that reads more like a European-chasing side than a promoted one. Torino, by contrast, had won three in a row — against Udinese, Parma and Monza — before this collapse, and the manner of the defeat will sting more than the scoreline alone suggests.

What it means for the table

Como move up to 5th on 20 points with a goal difference of +9, firmly inside the places that matter at this stage of the season. Torino drop to 10th on 13 points, goal difference now level at zero after conceding three goals in nine second-half minutes they will want to forget.
