Como beat Manchester United 4-1 at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on Wednesday, 21 October, in the third round of the Champions League league phase. It was the first competitive meeting between the two clubs.<\/p>\n
Cesc F\u00e0bregas's side needed only two minutes to go ahead, Argentine forward Nico Paz putting the hosts in front almost from the kick-off.<\/p>\n
The second half began the same way. Greek striker Anastasios Douvikas made it 2-0 in the 49th minute, Paz added his second goal eight minutes later, and defender Jacobo Ram\u00f3n completed the scoring for Como in the 76th minute.<\/p>\n
United's only reply came from Joshua Zirkzee in the first minute of stoppage time, far too late to change the outcome.<\/p>\n
The win takes Como to six points from three matches. F\u00e0bregas's team had opened with a 4-1 win over RB Leipzig before losing 3-2 to Feyenoord, and this was their first match against English opposition.<\/p>\n
For Michael Carrick's United, the defeat leaves them on three points and stretches their run without a win to seven matches. Their last victory came on 10 September, a 4-0 win over Sabah of Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
