Roma and Como draw in Serie A match
In the 6th round of the Italian Serie A, Como and Roma played to a goalless draw on October 11, 2026. The match, hosted in Como, saw the visitors under significant pressure after Donyell Malen was issued a straight red card in the 53rd minute. Despite playing with ten men for nearly the entire second half, Roma maintained a resilient defensive effort to secure a point. The encounter featured early chances for both sides, including opportunities for Paulo Dybala and Pellegrini for Roma, and Nico Paz for Como, though both teams' goalkeepers denied any scoring attempts.
Tasos Douvikas played the full 90 minutes for Como, which currently sits in 6th place with 11 points. Roma's Konstantinos Koulierakis was absent from the squad due to injuries sustained while playing for the Greek national team. The result has negative implications for Roma in the league standings, as it allowed Inter Milan to take sole possession of the top spot in the table, moving two points ahead of the Roman club. Following this stalemate, Roma will need to recover to stay in contention for the Scudetto as the league season progresses.
