Como Shocks Manchester United with a 4-1 Victory: Nico Paz Masterclass, Douvikas and Ramon Score

Como experienced a night to remember, overwhelming Manchester United 4-1 at the Sinigaglia stadium. Cesc Fabregas's team dominated the match from start to finish.

Nico Paz led the charge, opening the scoring after just two minutes with a beautiful curling left-footed shot and later netting the third goal. Douvikas scored in between, and Jacobo Ramon completed the rout. Zirkzee pulled one back in stoppage time.

Nico Paz Opens His Champions League Account with a Gem

In the rain at the Sinigaglia, Como set the tone within two minutes. United had just missed an early chance through Dalot. On the counter-attack, Da Cunha found Nico Paz just inside the box. The former Real Madrid player controlled the ball and unleashed a curling left-footed shot past Lammens, marking his first Champions League goal.

From that point on, the game was controlled by Como. They maintained possession and capitalized on numerous errors from Manchester United. The English side's pressing was often ineffective, and they rarely threatened Butez's goal, except from set pieces.

In the latter half of the first period, Douvikas was heavily involved. He forced a save from Lammens for a corner and later missed a golden opportunity from Couto's pass. He was then fouled by the Belgian goalkeeper for what seemed like a penalty, but he was flagged offside.

The second half began with another blow to United. In the 49th minute, Baturina set up Nico Paz, who played in Douvikas. The striker outpaced De Ligt and beat Lammens on his exit to make it 2-0.

United struggled to respond, allowing Como to extend their lead. An error in possession by Baleba led to Nico Paz stealing the ball and racing towards goal to score his second of the match.

United's only notable attempts came from outside the box, with efforts from Tielemans, Bruno Fernandes, and a more dangerous shot from Diallo, who was the visitors' standout player on a difficult evening.

The fourth goal arrived in the 76th minute, following a textbook team move. Kaiki delivered a perfect cross from the left, finding Ramon unmarked at the far post. The forward rose highest to head the ball past Lammens for Como's fourth.

In the dying moments of the match, Joshua Zirkzee scored a consolation goal for the English team.
