Juventus secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Como in an away Serie A clash on Friday. French forward Randal Kolo Muani, who recently joined the Bianconeri on loan from Paris St Germain, emerged as the hero for the visitors, scoring both goals for Juventus.
Kolo Muani opened the scoring against the run of play in the 34th minute, giving Juventus an unexpected lead. However, Como responded well and deservedly equalized just before halftime through Assane Diao.
The second half failed to provide much excitement, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut opportunities. As the game appeared destined for a draw, a late penalty awarded to Juventus changed the course of the match. Como goalkeeper Jean Butez committed a foul, handing Juventus a golden opportunity to snatch the victory.
Kolo Muani stepped up to take the penalty and coolly converted it, securing all three points for Juventus. The win propelled Juventus to fourth place in the Serie A standings with 43 points, one point ahead of Fiorentina and Lazio. Como remained in 15th position with 22 points.

“The article oversimplifies the game. Como gave Juventus a tough battle, and pointing out one penalty doesn’t do justice to the match.”

“The report conveniently omits the tactical errors Juventus made. A late penalty is hardly evidence of overall dominance.”
