Argentine Nicolás Paz starred in Como 1907's emphatic 3-0 victory over Lazio in Serie A matchday 21, scoring two spectacular goals that drew praise from Italian media. Martin Baturina opened the scoring early, delivering what local press called a football lesson.
At Rome's Stadio Olimpico, Como 1907 stunned Lazio with a 3-0 win in Serie A matchday 21 on January 19, 2026. The game kicked off with Martin Baturina's stunning goal in the 1st minute of the first half, capitalizing on a defensive lapse. Argentine midfielder Nicolás Paz, 21, extended the lead at the 23rd minute with a precise long-range shot and completed his brace at the 3rd minute of the second half with a cross-goal strike.
Como controlled 51% possession and 10 shots on target to Lazio's 8. There was a penalty for Como that Paz missed, but it didn't halt the victory. The visitors earned 3 yellow cards (Ivan Smolcic, Stefan Posch, and Álex Valle), while Lazio received 4 (Mattia Zaccagni, Alessio Romagnoli, Danilo Cataldi, and Luca Pellegrini). No red cards were shown.
Italian media reacted with acclaim: 'Football lesson' for Paz's goals, praising his brilliance in Como's triumph, now 6th in the standings ahead of 9th-placed Lazio. This follows Como's loss to Milan (1-3) and contrasts Lazio's recent win over Hellas Verona (1-0). Como's next match is against Torino on January 24.
