Serie A: Juventus Suffer First Defeat of the 2025/26 Season
Juventus’ unbeaten run in the 2025/26 Serie A campaign came to a surprising end as they fell 2–0 away to newly promoted Como — in what proved to be a statement win for head coach Cesc Fàbregas and his ambitious side.
The hosts struck early, with defender Marc-Oliver Kempf heading in at the far post just four minutes into the match, catching the Turin giants cold. Juventus struggled to find rhythm, and things went from bad to worse in the second half.
On-loan Real Madrid midfielder Nico Paz sealed the upset with a dazzling solo goal — driving from deep in midfield, skipping past two defenders, and curling a strike into the far corner. It was a moment of individual brilliance that left the Bianconeri stunned.
