A first-half spot kick from Da Cunha was enough for Cesc Fàbregas’s side against the bottom club at the Sinigaglia.

Half-time 1–0 · Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia · Referee: Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi
Como beat Venezia 1-0 in Serie A on Sunday 1 November, with Da Cunha converting a penalty in the 43rd minute of the matchday 10 meeting at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. The win was Como’s fifth in a row in all competitions and left Venezia with a third straight defeat.
Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi refereed a contest that Como controlled from the start. The hosts had 66% of the ball, completed 656 of their 719 passes and finished with 19 shots to Venezia’s 7.
Da Cunha settles it from the spot before the break
The first key moment came in the 28th minute. VAR overturned a penalty decision involving Sohm, and the game stayed goalless.
Venezia then picked up two bookings in quick succession. Sohm was cautioned for a foul in the 39th minute and Juan Jesus followed him into the book two minutes later. Shortly after, Como were awarded a penalty, and Da Cunha scored it in the 43rd minute for what proved to be the only goal.
Da Cunha, rated 7.08, was replaced after 73 minutes. Kaiki was the only Como player booked, in the 86th minute.
Jacobo Ramón Naveros leads a dominant Como display
The margin was narrow, but the numbers were one-sided. Como generated 1.63 expected goals against Venezia’s 0.23 and forced Stanković into 3 saves, while Butez had only 1 to make. The hosts won 8 corners to Venezia’s 1 and took 10 of their shots from inside the box.
Jacobo Ramón Naveros was rated 7.33, the highest on the pitch. Luis Milla, on 7.2, created 3 chances, and Kempf was rated 7.19. For Venezia, Halhal earned a 7.08 rating at the back. Nicola’s side managed just 1 shot on target all game.
The result ended a run of uneven results between the clubs. Their two Serie A meetings in the 2024-25 season finished 2-2 in Venice and 1-1 in Como.
Como fifth, Venezia two points adrift at the bottom
Como are fifth with 20 points from 9 games, one point behind AC Milan and five behind joint leaders Lazio and Inter. Their recent run also includes a 4-1 win over Manchester United and a 3-1 victory over Torino.
Venezia remain rooted to the foot of the table. They have 3 points from 9 matches, with a single win, against Napoli, and a goal difference of -13. Parma and Udinese, the two sides directly above them, both have 5 points.
That makes Venezia’s next fixture a pressing one. Nicola’s team host Udinese in Serie A on Friday 6 November. Before then, Como turn to the Champions League with a trip to Lens on Wednesday 4 November.
