Como Thrash Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League

Como delivered a stunning performance to defeat Manchester United 4-1 in the third round of the Champions League league phase, with Nico Paz playing a decisive role for the Italian side.

Paz opened the scoring in the second minute and gave his team an early advantage. Manchester United struggled to create clear chances before the break, while Como continued to look dangerous going forward.

The home side strengthened their lead shortly after half-time when again Paz was involved, setting up Anastasios Douvikas in the 49th minute. Eight minutes later, the Argentine scored his second goal of the night after capitalising on a defensive mistake, putting Como firmly in control of the game.

The Spanish defender Jacobo Ramón added a fourth goal in the 76th minute, finishing a cross from Kaiki. For the visitors Joshua Zirkzee was on target and scored a late goal in stoppage time, but it did little to change the outcome. The result left Manchester United with one win and two defeats in the competition, while Como celebrated their second victory of the campaign.
