Genoa CFC CFC suffered a 0-2 home defeat against Cesc Fabregas's Como in Serie A on Sunday afternoon, a result that allowed the Larians to draw level with Roma in the standings and close in on Juventus in the race for a Champions League spot. Goals from Tasos Douvikas and Assane Diao sealed Como's victory at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium on April 26, 2026.

Prior to this clash, Genoa CFC had shown good form, recording two consecutive 2-1 victories in Serie A in the fortnight leading up to the match. Como, on the other hand, had experienced a difficult April, going over a month without a win despite an overall impressive 2025-26 season under Fabregas's guidance.

The match saw Cesc Fabregas, Como's head coach, and Daniele De Rossi, Genoa CFC's manager, face off on the sidelines. Fabregas had made two alterations to his line-up following their midweek Coppa Italia semi-final defeat against Inter.

Despite their recent victories, Daniele De Rossi had decided to make four changes to his starting line-up for the clash against Como. These choices failed to reverse the trend, with Genoa CFC unable to find the back of the net.

Como's victory was crucial for their European ambitions, bringing them level on points with Roma and just two points behind Juventus, who occupy a Champions League position, with four games of the Serie A season remaining.
