Como stunned Napoli with a 2-1 victory at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, ruining Massimiliano Allegri’s first home match in charge of the Italian champions. Martin Baturina put the visitors ahead in the 17th minute before Rasmus Højlund equalised for Napoli shortly after the half-hour mark.
Como restored their advantage just five minutes after Napoli’s equaliser when Anastasios Douvikas capitalised on a defensive error to score his second goal in as many matches. Cesc Fàbregas’ side then defended resolutely despite Napoli’s attempts to find another equaliser, with the hosts even having a late goal ruled out for offside.
The defeat is an early setback for Allegri, who had begun his Napoli tenure with a 2-0 away victory over Genoa. Como, meanwhile, continued their impressive rise under Fàbregas after finishing fourth last season and securing Champions League football for the first time.
