Como-Inter | Semifinal, first leg - Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 | 03/03/2026 | Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia
Como-Inter 0-0
Como faced Inter at the Sinigaglia in a historic Coppa Italia semi-final, returning to this stage of the competition after more than 40 years.
Before kick-off, a minute of silence was observed in memory of Rino Marchesi, former Como 1907 head coach who recently passed away and led the club in that historic semi-final over four decades ago.
The match ended goalless, leaving everything to be decided in the return leg scheduled for the end of March at the Giuseppe Meazza in San Siro.
World Cup winners Pepe Reina, Raphaël Varane and Daniele De Rossi were in attendance in the stands to watch the match.
