Como beat Napoli 2-1 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The Serie A encounter between Napoli and Como unfolded on 30 August 2026 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Napoli. Both sides entered the match looking to add three points, and the atmosphere was charged as the home supporters filled the iconic venue.

How it unfolded

The first breakthrough came early in the second half when Martin Baturina opened the scoring for the visitors in the 17th minute. Baturina received a pass from Assane Diao inside the box and unleashed a left-footed shot that curled into the bottom right corner, giving Como a 1-0 lead.

Napoli responded promptly, and just thirteen minutes later Rasmus Højlund levelled the tie. The Danish striker collected the ball outside the penalty area, and with a precise left-footed strike he sent the ball past the Como goalkeeper, restoring parity at 1-1. The assist came from centre-back Amir Rrahmani, whose pass set Højlund up for the finish.

The deadlock was short-lived. Four minutes after the equaliser, Anastasios Douvikas restored Como’s advantage. Douvikas, operating in the centre of the box, took a right-footed shot that found the bottom right corner. The move was initiated by Martin Baturina, who provided the decisive assist. By the 34th minute the visitors were back in front, 2-1.

Just three minutes later, Napoli’s captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo was shown a yellow card for a bad foul. The booking did not alter the scoreline, and the match continued with Como holding onto their slim lead until the final whistle.
