Como Stun Napoli, Inter Grind Out Win in Sardinia on Busy Serie A Sunday

Serie A delivered three results on Sunday that will reshape early-season expectations, with newly promoted Como producing the shock of the day by defeating Napoli 2-1 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Napoli. It was a result that will send a message around Italian football: Como are not here simply to make up the numbers.

Napoli's home record and the weight of expectation that comes with playing at the Maradona counted for little as Como held firm and secured all three points on the road. For the hosts, it is an early stumble that will demand a response, with questions sure to follow about their form and cohesion at the start of what was meant to be a competitive campaign.

In Cagliari, Internazionale made it another winning outing with a 1-0 victory at the Unipol Domus. The margin was slim, but Inter showed the kind of resilience that title challengers require when performances are not at their sharpest. A clean sheet on the road against a Cagliari side that will be fighting for survival all season is a result worth banking.

Lazio completed the day's action with a 1-0 win over Genoa at the Olimpico in Roma. Marcos Baroni's side ground out a tight victory that keeps them in the conversation at the right end of the table, while Genoa were left frustrated after failing to find the equaliser they pushed for in the closing stages.

With Como already turning heads and Inter ticking over efficiently, the early weeks of the 2026-27 Serie A campaign are shaping up to be far from predictable. Napoli's fans will be hoping Sunday's setback is an aberration rather than a sign of things to come.
