Atalanta have won their first game in Serie A thanks to a 3-2 upset win away to Europa League champions Atalanta.
Atalanta had the lion’s share of possession but created fewer chances than their visitors, eight to 14.
Davide Zappacosta put the hosts ahead in the 18th minute with a well-struck volley from just outside the box that resulted from a corner.
Gabriel Strefezza equalised for Como 20 seconds into the second half with a shot into the far post after he was found by a clever backheel from Sergi Roberto.
Things went from bad to worse for Atalanta when Sead Kolašinac deflected a shot, that looked to be going off target, into his own net.
Alieu Fadera made it 3-1 when he cut inside his man before cutting outside again and scoring from an angle.
Ademola Lookman made the scoreline respectable for Atalanta in the 9th minute of added time when he converted a penalty awarded for a foul in the box, but it wasn’t enough to stop Como taking all three points and moving up to 15th on the Serie A table.
