**Como delivered a statement performance at home, dismantling Torino 6-0 in a Serie A rout that showcased their attacking prowess and left the visitors shell-shocked.**
The floodgates opened early as Anastasios Douvikas struck in the eighth minute, setting the tone for an utterly dominant display. Martin Baturina doubled the advantage just eight minutes later, and Torino’s afternoon spiraled further when Marcus Pedersen picked up a yellow card before coach Davide Nicola was forced into an early substitution with Ardian Ismajli in the 21st minute.
The second half brought no respite for the beleaguered visitors. A VAR-confirmed penalty in the 57th minute allowed Lucas Da Cunha to convert from the spot two minutes later, extending Como’s lead to three. Douvikas grabbed his second in the 66th minute, capping a masterful performance that earned him a match-high 9.5 rating with two goals and two key passes.
Torino’s triple substitution at the 67-minute mark—bringing on Emre Ilkhan, Adrien Tameze, and Cyril Ngonge—did nothing to stem the tide. Nicolas-Gerrit Kühn added a fifth in the 70th minute before Maxence Caqueret completed the scoring in the 76th with Como’s sixth.
Baturina was equally influential with a goal, an assist, and four key passes, earning a 9.2 rating. Como controlled proceedings throughout, dominating possession (58.8%) and maintaining a remarkable 90% pass completion rate while registering 17 shots to Torino’s seven.
Goalkeeper Jean Butez barely needed to work, making just one save as Torino managed only a single shot on target. The comprehensive victory sends Como surging up the table while Torino face serious questions after one of their heaviest defeats of the season.
