Tactical Story
Napoli lined up in a 4-3-3, looking to use width and early crosses. But Como's midfield trio gradually took control, winning second balls and disrupting Napoli's rhythm. Como's switch to a back three late on helped them absorb pressure and see out the win. Napoli's inability to convert possession into clear chances proved costly.
Standout Players
Como's attacking midfielder was the engine of the comeback, involved in both goals and constantly finding space between the lines. Napoli's goalkeeper kept the score respectable with several fine stops, while the home captain tried to drive her team forward but lacked support in the final third.

Both sides now turn their attention to the next round of fixtures, with Como looking to climb further and Napoli desperate for a response.
