Como 2-1 Napoli (Feb 23, 2025) Game Analysis
Napoli missed the chance to return to the top of Serie A after suffering a stunning 2-1 loss against Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Sunday, as the title-chasing visitors’ winless streak extended to four matches.
Napoli got off to a nightmare start when Kosovan centre back Amir Rrahmani gifted the lead to Como in the seventh minute by sending Matteo Politano’s throw-in into his own net, with goalkeeper Alex Meret well off his line, to the despair of manager Antonio Conte.

Ten minutes later, forward Giacomo Raspadori pounced on some sloppy defending to slot the ball past Como keeper Jean Butez and level things up for Napoli. However, winger Assane Diao netted a 77th-minute winner for Como with a stunning finish after picking up Nico Paz’s precise pass.
Napoli remain second with 56 points from 26 matches, one point behind reigning champions Inter Milan. Promoted Como move up to 13th on 28 points.
