Wed Sep 25 02:24:30 UTC 2024: ## Como Earns Historic Serie A Win After Two Decades, Stunning Atalanta 3-2
**Bergamo, Italy:** In a dramatic match pushed back a day due to heavy rain, Como secured their first Serie A victory in over 20 years, defeating Atalanta 3-2 at the Gewiss Stadium.
The win, achieved after a late comeback, marks a significant moment for Como, who last tasted victory in the top flight on the final day of the 2002/03 season against Torino.
Atalanta took the lead in the 18th minute through Davide Zappacosta’s volley, but Como fought back. Gabriel Strefezza equalized just after half-time, and a deflected strike by Nico Paz, which was unfortunately diverted into his own goal by Sead Kolasinac, put Como ahead in the 54th minute.
Alieu Fadera sealed the historic win with a stunning individual goal, leaving the home fans stunned. This victory lifts Como out of the relegation zone and into 15th place with five points, a point behind Atalanta, who are currently 12th.
The match was a rollercoaster of emotions for both teams. Atalanta, despite their early lead, struggled to find their rhythm and have now lost three of their opening five Serie A fixtures. They also drew 0-0 against Arsenal in the Champions League on Thursday.
Ademola Lookman’s penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time offered a glimmer of hope for Atalanta, but it was ultimately too little, too late.
This victory marks a significant turning point for Como, who are hoping to establish themselves in Serie A under the ownership of tobacco giant Djarum.
