COMO, Italy :Juventus lost 2-0 at Como in Serie A on Sunday, another disappointing result after five successive draws in all competitions for Igor Tudor’s side.
Como took the lead in the fourth minute when defender Marc-Oliver Kempf volleyed in from close range at the far post following Nico Paz’s curling cross.
Juventus thought they had equalised in the 36th minute when Jonathan David slotted home from close range, but the Canadian’s effort was ruled out for offside in the build-up.
Early in the second half, Kempf required treatment for a cut to his forehead after an accidental clash with teammate Jacobo Ramon but was able to continue with heavy strapping.
Juventus continued to struggle and Paz doubled Como’s lead in the 79th minute with a brilliant solo effort, cutting inside from the right to glide past Andrea Cambiaso before curling a left-footed strike beyond Michele Di Gregorio.
The 21-year-old Argentine has contributed to eight of Como’s nine league goals this season with four goals and four assists in seven matches, the most in Serie A.
Como moved up to fifth in the standings, level on 12 points with Juventus in sixth.
