Milan, 27 September (LaPresse) – The Lombardy derby between Como and Cremonese, a preview of the fifth day of the Serie A championship, ended 1-1. The first half belonged to Como, with Nico Paz breaking the deadlock in the 32nd minute with a precise left-footed shot from the centre of the area following a cross from the left by Rodriguez. Como lost veteran Sergi Roberto to injury and came close to doubling their lead on several occasions. In the second half, however, after another missed opportunity by Nico Paz, Cremonese took control of the game and found the equaliser with a header by Baschirotto from a corner kick by Vazquez. In the final minutes, the hosts were down to ten men due to the naive sending off of Jesús Rodríguez, who was caught by VAR violently hitting Terracciano when the ball was far away. Nicola's Grigiorossi managed to maintain their unbeaten run in the league, climbing to nine points in the table, which is good for their goal of avoiding relegation. Fabregas' Como are one point behind, on eight points, with their second draw in their last three games.
