In a thrilling encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, Como battled to a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Lazio in the first match of 2025, marking a crucial point in their Serie A Enilive campaign. Despite some early pressure from the home side, the LarianI showed resilience and character, holding firm to secure a valuable point on the road.

Jean Butez, the French goalkeeper who joined Como 1907 just three days ago, made his debut in the starting lineup with the BiancoBlu shirt, and at the 20th minute, Diao, 19-year-old winger joining from Real Betis, also made his debut.

In the second half, the Lariani equalized with a goal from Como-born striker Patrick Cutrone, who scored his sixth goal of the season following an assist from Gabriel Strefezza.
