Como storms Genoa with commanding win

A four-goal salvo from Como, led by Assane Diao's brace, overwhelms Genoa.

Genoa took an early lead through M. Osmajić at 19 minutes, but Como quickly turned the tide with three first-half goals from M. Baturina, Assane Diao, and N. Paz. Diao sealed the emphatic 4-1 victory with a late strike at 78 minutes. Fipster's high-confidence prediction for an away win was spot on, even if the exact scoreline was more generous to Como than forecast.
