Lucas de Cunha's Screamer Leads Como to Third Straight Serie A Win

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.

Other Results

Juventus 4-0 Pisa: Andrea Cambiaso opened the scoring in the 54th minute before Khéphren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz and Jérémie Boga ran up the score. Juventus remains in sixth place.

Atalanta 2-2 Udinese: Seventh-placed Atalanta was trailing by two goals before Gianluca Scamacca scored twice in the 75th and 79th minutes to earn a draw.
