Como's hot form continues to propel them into European contention with a 2-0 win over Sassuolo. The victory marks their 12th unbeaten match in all competitions (W6, D6), and they're now entering December in the top six of Serie A.

Como's strong start at home was on full display, with goals scored in the opening quarter-hour of their home games, and it was no surprise they took the lead after just 14 minutes. Cesc Fabregas' side dominated the early stages, and their clinical finish was a testament to their growing confidence.

Como got a slice of luck, and they made the most of it. Alberto Moreno's shot deflected to Anastasios Douvikas, who coolly slotted the ball home from the edge of the six-yard box. The home side continued to dominate possession, but Sassuolo's defense held firm, restricting Como to long-range shots and tame efforts.

Como's attack was relentless, but Sassuolo's determination to turn their form around was evident. They'd taken 10 points from 12 away, and they weren't about to let Como take the spoils easily. The Neroverdi defense was solid, and Como struggled to find a way past them.

Sassuolo's attacks were easily dealt with by Arijanet Muric, with Nico Paz's shot towards the roof of the net being the most notable effort, and it was comfortably saved. The first half ended with Como pushing for more, but Sassuolo's defense held strong.

The second half saw Como come out strong, and they doubled their lead just eight minutes in. The home side's dominance was evident, and Sassuolo struggled to cope with their pressure.

Alberto Moreno scored Como's second goal, beating Arijanet Muric to Nico Paz's cross and heading the ball home. Anastasios Douvikas had a great chance to add his second goal shortly after, but Muric saved his left-footed strike across goal.

Sassuolo had a brief spell of pressure after that, but they couldn't find a way back into the game. Despite their efforts, Como's defense held strong, and they secured a 2-0 win.

Como's dominance was evident as they pushed for a third goal, but Arijanet Muric's solid goalkeeping denied them. Despite that, they'd done enough to secure a 2-0 win over Sassuolo.

This victory marks a great start to the season for Cesc Fabregas' team, following up last season's impressive 10th-place finish as a promoted side. It's clear Como is avoiding the sophomore slump, thanks to their strong approach.

Como's continental charge is gaining momentum, and they're eyeing a historic run. With a win over Sassuolo, they'll be just a stone's throw away from Roma (1st) and Napoli (3rd), setting the stage for a thrilling Serie A showdown. The Lariani are currently in sixth place, but a victory would put them within touching distance of the top spots, making their European qualification hopes even brighter.
