Napoli 1-2 Como Player Ratings: Baturina 8.7/10 as Fabregas's Como Silence the Stadio Maradona with Stunning Serie A Upset

Martin Baturina arrived at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with very little of the spotlight and left having earned every bit of it. His composed 17th-minute opener set Cesc Fabregas-led Como on course for one of Serie A's most surprising early-season results. Douvikas added a clinical 34th-minute second to confirm the damage. Massimiliano Allegri's Napoli, widely expected to challenge for the Scudetto, have now lost consecutive home matches and find themselves staring at an early-season crisis that demands immediate and honest answers.

Martin Baturina was the outstanding individual at 8.7/10. His opening goal showed exactly why Fabregas signed him, a composed, first-time finish that gave Meret no realistic chance and immediately silenced a Maradona crowd that had arrived expecting a straightforward home victory. His creative involvement throughout, combining intelligently with Douvikas and exploiting the space between Napoli's defensive lines, confirmed the Croatian as Como's most important and tactically decisive attacking contributor across a genuinely impressive team performance.

Hojlund's 30th-minute equaliser briefly threatened to turn the tide, the Danish striker's powerful header reducing the deficit and dragging SSC Napoli back into a contest they had looked completely unable to navigate. But Douvikas' 34th-minute composed response arrived within four minutes, and Como's defensive organisation held firm with the collective confidence of a side that Fabregas has clearly drilled to execute under the most intense and unexpected pressure.

Napoli's attacking performance raised serious concerns that Allegri will need to address urgently. Rasmus Hojlund's headed consolation was their only genuine clear-cut moment, Politano and Raspadori both peripheral throughout, and Como's compact defensive shape exploiting precisely the build-up vulnerabilities that their most informed observers identified during pre-season. Six points already dropped from a possible six in Serie A's opening two rounds is not the statement Allegri's appointment at the Maradona was supposed to deliver.
