Como 1907 drew 1-1 at home against Empoli.

The day began with a pre-match live performance by Italian singer-songwriter Gaia, who brought her signature sound to the Sinigaglia Stadium for a special set ahead of Como vs Empoli, setting the tone for another unforgettable matchday by the lake.

Como 1907 players took to the pitch for their warm-up wearing Forza Dox shirts, showing their support for Alberto Dossena as he recovers from ACL surgery.

Among the guests at the Sinigaglia were UK rappers Aitch and Krept & Konan, along with Sean Dyche, Carlton Cole, Phil Jones, Jack Cork, Steve Greaves, and Steve Guinan—all former Premier League players from clubs ranging from Manchester United to West Ham—attending today’s game.

At the game, Greek forward Tasos Douvikas put the Biancoblù ahead in the second half, scoring his first goal for the club with a clinical finish from a precise cross by Mërgim Vojvoda. However, Empoli equalised through Kouame in the 75th minute.

The match also marked the first start and decisive assist for Mërgim Vojvoda, as well as the return of Sergi Roberto to action.

Como will now focus on their next match, scheduled for next Saturday against Monza.
