The pleasant surprise of the season in Serie “A” Como achieved a resounding 6:0 victory over Torino as a host in a match from the 22nd round. This is the most expressive success for Cesc Fabregas' team during the campaign, and with it the team continues to fight for a place in the top 4. The biggest victory so far for the “lakeside” was again against Torino - 5:1 as a guest in their first clash exactly two months ago, Sportal.bg reported.

The hosts struck quickly, as after only about a quarter of an hour of play they were already leading 2:0. Anastasio Duvikas scored the first goal in the 9th minute, and in the 16th minute Martin Baturina doubled.
The other goals “rained” in the second half. Luca Da Cunha (59’) scored a perfect penalty for 3:0, and seven minutes later Duvikas added another goal. Nicolas Gerrit-Kühn (70’) made it 5:0, and then Maxens Kakere (76’) finished off Toro.
