Como Sets Champions League Record with 9-1 Victory

On November 4, Como made history in the UEFA Champions League by defeating French side Lens 9-1 at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Anastasios Douvikas was a standout performer, scoring a hat-trick, while 18-year-old Matteo Papaccioli scored on his senior debut.

Como's scoring began in the seventh minute with Douvikas converting a cross. He doubled the lead in the 32nd minute, and Nico Paz made it 3-0 just before halftime.

Paz celebrated by displaying a shirt in memory of Jesús de Miguel, who died earlier that week. The second half saw Como continue their dominance, with Lucas Da Cunha, Marc-Oliver Kempf, and Douvikas adding to the scoreline.

Mattia Liberali scored the seventh goal, and although Ruben Aguilar pulled one back for Lens, Martin Baturina and Papaccioli completed the rout. The match marked Como as the first team to score nine goals in an away Champions League match.
