ROME — Como won 2-1 at Cagliari thanks to a screamer by midfielder Lucas de Cunha to stay in fifth place of Serie A on Saturday.
Cesc Fàbregas' side has won three in a row in the Italian league and has only lost once in 11 games overall. Como had a scoreless draw with Inter Milan in the first game of their Italian Cup semifinal earlier this week.
Match Details
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 send a shot from well outside the top right corner of the area just inside the far post for the 76th-minute winner.
The victory left Como level on points with fourth-placed Roma a week before they meet.
