The Serie A fixture between Como and AS Roma unfolded at the historic Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium in Como on 11 October 2026. Both sides entered the match seeking a positive result, but the game remained tightly contested, ending without a goal.

How it unfolded

The first half concluded with a routine booking for Como defender Assane Diao in stoppage time, the 45'+2' yellow card recorded by the officials. The caution came just before the break, signalling a physical edge to the encounter.

The second half opened with Roma midfielder Marten de Roon receiving a yellow card in the 46th minute for a bad foul, immediately after the restart. The early caution for the visitors hinted at the intensity that would dominate the remainder of the match.

A pivotal moment arrived in the 53rd minute when Roma forward Donyell Malen was shown a straight red card. The dismissal left AS Roma with ten men for the bulk of the second half, forcing the team to adjust its shape and tactics while defending a narrow margin.

Four minutes later, in the 57th minute, Roma’s Manu Koné was booked for a bad foul, adding a second yellow to the visitors’ disciplinary tally. The pressure on the reduced Roma side increased as they sought to regain composure.

At the 62nd minute, Roma winger Matías Soulé received a yellow card, further crowding the disciplinary record for the away side. Despite being a man down, Roma managed to maintain defensive solidity, and neither side could break the deadlock.

The final booking of the match came in the 90th minute when Como midfielder Martin Baturina was shown a yellow card for a bad foul, capping a game that featured six cautions and one straight red.

Throughout the 90 minutes, both teams created limited clear-cut chances, and the defensive discipline, especially after the sending-off, ensured the scoreline remained unchanged.
