Greek striker Tasos Douvikas opened the scoring in the 6th minute with a header from an Álex Valle cross, his fifth goal of the season and second in Serie A. Verona equalised later on in the first half.

In the second half, defender Stefan Posch put the Lariani back in front with another header, scoring his first Serie A goal for Como assisted by midfielder Maxence Caqueret.
