Analysis The numbers behind the result
Como capitalise on superior possession with clinical finishing
Despite Napoli's slightly higher expected goals (1.35) compared to Como's 1.03, the visitors were ultimately more efficient in converting their chances. Though Napoli crafted 13 shots (2 on target), Como's 21 attempts (6 on target) reflected their dominance in the final third, underpinned by a superior 58% possession. The key difference was Como's clinical edge, as they scored twice from three key first-half moments: Martin Baturina's opener (17') and Anastasios Douvikas' winner (34'), both assisted by Baturina.
While Napoli equalised through Rasmus Hojlund (30'), their inability to sustain pressure was evident in just 42% possession and only 2 corners. Como's defensive discipline, highlighted by a clean sheet in the second half and 55 accurate recoveries, stifled Napoli's attack. The decisive stat was Como's higher shot conversion rate (9.5%), proving their ability to maximise limited opportunities despite Napoli's marginally higher xG.
