Como 4-1 RB Leipzig Player Ratings: A Jubilant Outing On Their First-Ever UCL Game Secures All Three Points For Cesc Fàbregas's Men

UCL debutants Como took on RB Leipzig in their first match of the UEFA Champions League league phase, and they were off to a flyer in the first half itself. A missed clearance from Ridle Baku presented the chance to Martin Baturina, who faked a shot before dispatching it into the back of the net to give the home side the lead in the 15th minute.

Baturina became the first goalscorer for Como 1907 in the UCL, a milestone that would be remembered forever in the club's history.

They bagged a second in the 38th minute, when Baturina made a sharp turn in the middle of the park to drive forward and play Anastasios Douvikas through on goal, who held off Castello Lukeba to finish off beyond a helpless Maarten Vandevoordt to double the lead.

Assane Diao took the game beyond the German club's reach with a powerful finish in the 54th minute from the right-hand side of the box despite being at an acute angle. RB Leipzig pulled one back just four minutes later as Andrija Maksimović unleashed a banger from the edge of the box to keep hopes alive.

Máximo Perrone ended any hopes for a comeback, as he scored the fourth of the night for the hosts from a Nico Paz assist to top off a brilliant opening fixture for the Italian club in Europe's premier club tournament.
