Como Dominates Lens 9-1 in Historic Champions League Match
On November 4, Como delivered a record-breaking performance in the UEFA Champions League, defeating French club Lens 9-1 at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Anastasios Douvikas starred with a hat-trick, while 18-year-old Matteo Papaccioli scored on his debut.
The match began with Douvikas scoring in the seventh minute, followed by goals from Douvikas again, Nico Paz, Lucas Da Cunha, Marc-Oliver Kempf, and others. Paz dedicated his goal to Jesús de Miguel, a player who died earlier that week.
Como maintained their offensive pressure throughout the match, with Douvikas completing his hat-trick in the 57th minute. Lens managed to score once through Ruben Aguilar, but Como quickly responded with another goal from Martin Baturina.
Papaccioli's late goal was confirmed after a VAR review. This victory marked Como's sixth consecutive competitive win and solidified their Champions League campaign under coach Cesc Fabregas.
