Como sweep past Pisa to go fourth in Serie A
Como swept aside struggling Pisa 3-0 to move fourth in Serie A on Tuesday boosting their hopes of Champions League football next season.
Cesc Fabregas's side notched up a third consecutive victory in the league thanks to three second half goals in Tuscany.
Maximo Perrone put the northerners ahead after 68 minutes with Anastasios Douvikas adding two more on 76 minutes and a late penalty after 96 minutes of play.
Como's French goalkeeper Jean Butez, one of the revelations of the season in Italy, saved a penalty six minutes from time.
The Lombardy club, owned by Indonesian billionaires the Hartono brothers, now have 33 points, the same as fifth-placed Juventus and Roma in sixth, who play at Sassuolo and Lecce respectively later Tuesday.
But Como, back in the top flight since 2024 after a 21-year absence, have a game in hand against AC Milan, which they will play on March 15.
Newly-promoted Pisa, who have won only once in 19 matches, remain bottom of the table with 12 points the same as Fiorentina and Verona.
