COMO, Italy, September 15, 2026: Como have already shown they can overwhelm opponents with attacking football.
Against Parma, they showed something arguably more valuable.
They can win through different players, different phases and different kinds of pressure.
Jacobo Ramón opened the scoring in the 23rd minute before Kaiki Bruno doubled the lead in the 84th as Cesc Fàbregas’ side beat Parma 2-1 at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Monday.

The official Parma match report confirms Ramón, Kaiki and Romero as the three scorers.
Who Scored for Como Against Parma?
Como’s goals came from two defenders.
That is one of the most interesting parts of the result.
Ramón put the hosts ahead after 23 minutes when Nico Paz delivered a corner toward the far post and the Spanish center-back converted from close range.
Kaiki then made it 2-0 six minutes from the end of normal time.
Neither player entered the game as Como’s obvious scoring threat.
Fàbregas already has Diao, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina, Moise Kean, Anastasios Douvikas and other attacking options capable of deciding games.
Getting decisive goals from defenders makes the team harder to contain.
That attacking spread has been visible since the season began. During Como’s unbeaten opening three rounds, goals had already come from multiple areas of the side rather than one dominant scorer.
Jacobo Ramón Gives Como Another Set-Piece Threat
Ramón’s opener also showed the value of Nico Paz’s delivery.
Parma defended the first phase of Como’s pressure reasonably well, but the corner created the separation the hosts had been building toward.
Paz sent the ball toward the back post.
Ramón arrived in the right area and finished.
For a team that already creates so much from open play, reliable set-piece production gives opponents another problem to solve.
Kaiki Bruno’s Late Goal Rewarded Como’s Control
Parma had become more dangerous during the second half.
Romero had already hit the post after redirecting an Emanuele Valeri cross.
That made Como’s second goal especially important.
Kaiki’s strike in the 84th minute created breathing room just as Parma were beginning to threaten more consistently.
The Brazilian defender had remained active on the left throughout a match in which Como controlled most of the ball and forced Parma into long defensive spells.
How Dominant Were Como Against Parma?
The statistics show why the result was deserved even though Parma remained alive late.
| Statistic | Como | Parma |
|---|---|---|
| Shots | 23 | 10 |
| Shots on target | 7 | 4 |
| Possession | 65% | 35% |
| Passes | 670 | 358 |
| Pass accuracy | 90% | 83% |
| Corners | 11 | 4 |
| Offsides | 4 | 2 |
Como produced more than twice as many shots and almost twice as many corners.
They also completed 312 more passes than Parma.
The possession figure alone does not decide whether a team has played well, but here it was accompanied by territorial pressure and sustained chance creation.
The 23 shots matter more than the 65%.
Como were not simply circulating possession.
They were using it to keep Parma under stress.
What Did Nico Paz Do Against Parma?
Paz did not score.
He still influenced the decisive opening moment.
His corner created Ramón’s 23rd-minute goal and once again showed why he has become such an important tactical reference point for Fàbregas.
The Argentine can affect games from open play, between the lines and from dead-ball situations.
That flexibility was already central to Como’s preseason positioning as one of Serie A’s most dangerous emerging teams.
Keeping Paz during the summer was one of Como’s biggest victories before the season even began.
Four league rounds later, the reason is increasingly obvious.
Where Are Como in the Serie A Table After Beating Parma?
Como move to 10 points from four matches.
That places them third behind Roma and Inter, who both have 12.
The result fits a broader opening-month trend already identified in our Serie A title-race analysis: the traditional hierarchy is being pressured by teams with clearer tactical identities and better continuity.
Como may be the strongest example.
They finished fourth last season and qualified for the Champions League.
The question entering 2026-27 was whether the extra European workload would expose a thin squad or interrupt their domestic rhythm.
So far, the opposite has happened.
Como beat Leipzig 4-1 on Thursday and Parma 2-1 four days later.
That is exactly the type of week that tests whether a rising team has moved from surprise to permanence.
The official Serie A standings provide the latest league-table context.
Why Is Como’s Unbeaten Start Becoming Significant?
Four games is still a small sample.
The nature of the results makes the start more meaningful.
Como opened the season with three away matches and took seven points.
Their 4-1 victory at Genoa was particularly impressive because they recovered after conceding first and then overwhelmed the hosts.
The Sports Encounter’s full Genoa-Como analysis showed how Diao, Baturina and Paz turned one difficult moment into complete control.
Against Parma, the route was different.
Como scored first, controlled the ball, created far more chances and survived the one period when Parma began to threaten.
Different game states have produced the same result: points.
That is usually one of the clearest signs that a team’s structure is working.
What Went Wrong for Parma Against Como?
Parma’s biggest problem was the amount of pressure they absorbed before creating enough danger of their own.
They finished with only 35% possession and 10 shots.
For long stretches, Carlos Cuesta’s side defended rather than dictated.
There were still encouraging moments.
Lontani headed narrowly over before halftime.
Romero struck the post after the break.
The substitute then scored in stoppage time.
Cuesta said afterward that Parma created more chances than in previous matches, something the club’s official post-match report also emphasized.
The problem is that progress without points becomes difficult to sustain psychologically.
Parma entered Matchday 4 with only one point, earned in their 1-1 draw with Monza. That result featured in our Serie A Matchday 3 review.
They now remain close to the relegation places with only one point from four games.
Did David Romero’s Late Goal Change the Como vs Parma Result?
No.
Romero scored in the 92nd minute to reduce the deficit to 2-1.
He had already gone close earlier when his touch from Valeri’s cross struck the post.
The late goal therefore reflected the threat Parma had begun to generate in the second half.
It did not change the outcome.
Como had already created enough separation through Kaiki’s 84th-minute goal.
That second goal proved decisive because Parma’s best attacking phase arrived too late.
How Are Como Handling Serie A and Champions League Football?
This may be the most important question around the club right now.
Como’s first-ever Champions League match came only four days before Parma arrived.
They responded to the emotional and physical demands of that occasion by winning again.
The European debut was extraordinary: four goals against RB Leipzig and four different Como scorers.
Fàbregas then changed personnel against Parma without losing the overall structure.
That matters because the season will repeatedly ask Como to switch between European and domestic football on short recovery windows.
Our Serie A opening-weekend assessment identified workload management as one of the biggest unknowns surrounding clubs entering multiple competitions.
Como’s first answer has been encouraging.
Why Como’s Win Matters in the Wider Serie A Race
The top of Serie A is already crowded.
Roma and Inter have started with four consecutive victories.
Como sit immediately behind them.
Lazio, Milan, Juventus and Cagliari have also made strong early starts, creating a league table with far more compression than last season’s final standings suggested.
The Sports Encounter’s Matchday 4 Saturday analysis showed how quickly Lazio, Milan and Cagliari added pressure to the upper half of the table.
Como’s Monday victory keeps them inside that conversation.
They are not title favorites after four games.
They no longer look like an accidental presence near the top either.
The preseason question was whether last year’s fourth-place finish represented a peak.
The first month of 2026-27 is producing a very different answer.
What Comes Next for Como and Parma?
Como travel to Frosinone on September 20.
Parma return home to face Genoa on the same day.
The next round could be particularly important for both.
Como have an opportunity to preserve their unbeaten start before another demanding run across Serie A and the Champions League.
Parma need their first league victory before one poor month becomes a more serious relegation problem.
The wider competition remains unpredictable. Fiorentina only collected their first points after Franco Mastantuono’s hat-trick in Venice, a result covered in our Venezia-Fiorentina analysis.
Early-season tables can change quickly.
For Como, the goal should be making sure this position becomes increasingly difficult to dismiss.
