Positive First Challenge for the Larians Against Lille

18.07.2025 | Como vs Lille OSC | Friendly Match | Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia

Como 1907 – Lille LOSC 3-2

The first friendly of the 2025/26 season ended 3-2 at the Sinigaglia, as Como 1907 faced off against Lille OSC.

Gabriel Strefezza opened the score with a brilliant curling effort into the top corner. Shortly after, Iván Azón netted his first goal in a Biancoblù shirt, finishing off a precise through ball from Alessandro Gabrielloni. The Spanish forward then grabbed a brace with another well-timed pass from Yannik Engelhardt.

The match also provided valuable playing time and experience for several academy prospects. Fabio Rispoli, Jacopo Simonetta, Andrea Le Borgne, and Fellipe Jack all had the chance to test themselves against high-level European opposition, showing promising signs of growth.

Como’s summer training camp continues as the squad prepares for the 2025/26 Serie A season. The next fixture is set for Wednesday, 23 July (8:30 PM), when Como 1907 will face Al-Ahli in the opening game of the inaugural Como Cup – the international tournament also featuring Ajax and Celtic FC as part of Football On The Lake, a five-day festival celebrating elite football on the shores of Lake Como.
