Rome — Como won 2-1 at Cagliari thanks to a stunning long-range goal by midfielder Lucas de Cunha to stay in fifth place of Serie A on Saturday.
Cesc Fàbregas' side has won three consecutive matches in the Italian league and has only lost once in 11 games overall. Como had a scoreless draw with Inter Milan in the first leg of their Italian Cup semifinal earlier this week.
Match Summary
Martin Baturina put Como ahead at Cagliari by scrambling in a goal in the 14th minute.
Sebastian Esposito leveled for the hosts in the 56th minute, only for de Cunha to fire a shot from well outside the area into the far post for the 76th-minute winner.
The victory left Como level on points with fourth-placed Roma, with a meeting between the two sides scheduled for next week.
