Cesc Fàbregas' team played Lazio away in the last round. This match happened on Friday and surprisingly gave Como the points.The new team in Serie A this season started the game quickly, but they conceded first in the 34th minute. Then, at the start of the second half, Como were helped by a penalty from their opponents - two yellow cards in two minutes were given to Romans forward Loum Chauna. Fabergas' team then equalised in the 72nd minute with a goal from Gabriele Strefezza, keeping the score at 1:1.
