7M - Sassuolo 2-1 Como: Nico Paz header goal makes Argentine second-top Serie A scorer behind Lautaro Martinez

Sassuolo claimed a 2-1 home victory over Como in Serie A matchday 33 on April 17, 2026, with goals from Cristian Volpato and M'Bala Nzola.

Despite the defeat, the focus remained on Como's Argentine midfielder Nico Paz, who scored a delicate lobbed header to reduce the deficit.

The strike marked his 12th league goal of the 2025/2026 season, moving him into sole possession of second place on the Serie A scoring charts, behind only compatriot Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan.

Across all competitions this term, Paz has now registered 14 goals and seven assists in 36 appearances, cementing his status as Como's standout performer.

The result leaves Sassuolo in ninth place, while Como missed a chance to close in on fourth-placed Juventus and a Champions League qualification spot.

Paz, who featured alongside fellow Argentine Maximo Perrone, remains a key member of Lionel Scaloni's 26-man Argentina squad for the 2026 World Cup.
