Como’s push for a top-four finish took another hit with a 2–1 loss at Sassuolo on Friday. Cristian Volpato and M’Bala Nzola struck in quick succession before halftime to hand the hosts victory in Reggio Emilia.
The setback leaves Cesc Fàbregas’ side fifth, two points behind Juventus and just one clear of Roma. AC Milan remain third, five points ahead despite their own poor run.
Inter Milan face Cagliari later, aiming to extend their lead to 12 points and move closer to a 21st Serie A title.
