Como secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Parma at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, with Alberto Moreno's 58th-minute goal proving decisive in a one-sided affair that saw the hosts dominate possession and chances.
Como entered the match sixth in Serie A with 65 points from 36 games, riding a mixed run of form that included two losses in their last five outings. Parma arrived in 13th place with just 42 points, struggling badly with four defeats in their previous five matches. The visitors needed a positive result to climb away from the relegation zone, while Como sought to maintain their push toward European qualification.
The first half saw Como control proceedings from the opening whistle. The hosts monopolized possession, keeping the ball for 66 percent of the match and threading passes with precision. Parma offered little in attack, content to sit deep and absorb pressure while hoping for opportunities on the counter-attack.
Como's dominance yielded few clear-cut chances in the opening 45 minutes. The hosts fired 23 total shots across the full match, but struggled to find the breakthrough in the first period. Parma's goalkeeper Zion Suzuki remained relatively untroubled, though he would need to be sharp when the action intensified after the break.
The second half brought the breakthrough Como had been seeking. In the 58th minute, Alberto Moreno struck to give the hosts the lead. The goal arrived from open play as Como's attacking intent finally translated into a tangible reward for their territorial control and patient build-up play.
Moreno's finish proved the match-winner. The forward received a yellow card just seven minutes after scoring, in the 65th minute, but his goal had already done the damage. Como managed the remainder of the contest with relative comfort, though Parma offered occasional resistance without ever truly threatening an equalizer.
