Genoa 1-4 Como: Dia hat-trick stuns Ferraris in Serie A thriller (full match highlights)

Como produced a stunning performance to demolish Genoa 4-1 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on 4 September 2026, with Assane Dia netting a brilliant hat-trick to secure the visitors' first Serie A win of the season. The hosts started brightly and took the lead in the 19th minute through Milutin Osmajic, who finished calmly into the near corner after Lorenzo Colombo's assist. The celebrations were short-lived, as Martin Baturina equalized just six minutes later with a powerful drive from outside the box, set up by Alex Valle. Dia then turned the game on its head in the 30th minute, capitalising on a defensive error to race through on goal and slot home. Nicolas Paz made it 3-1 in the 40th minute, finishing off a slick team move involving Yan Couto to give Como a comfortable lead at the break. The second half saw Genoa push forward in search of a way back, but Dia completed his hat-trick in the 78th minute, converting Moise Kean's cross to make it 4-1. This was a historic night for Como, as Dia became the first player to score a Serie A hat-trick for the club since 2023, and his three goals moved him to second in the league's scoring charts. Cesc Fabregas's side controlled the game with 54 percent possession and registered 15 shots, while Genoa managed just eight attempts. The result lifts Como to third place in the table with seven points, while Genoa remain on two points and have dropped to 16th position. This was a statement victory for Como, who have now ended their six-match winless run in the league. The atmosphere at the Ferraris was electric, and the travelling supporters celebrated long after the final whistle. Can Fabregas guide this team to European football this season? If they continue playing with this confidence and quality, there is no doubt they will be challenging for a top-half finish.
