Kolo Muani's Late Penalty Secures Victory for Juventus Against Como

Posted on February 08, 2025

Juventus continued their strong performance in Serie A with a 2-1 victory over Como, thanks to a late penalty from Randal Kolo Muani. The match took place on Friday and marked an important win for Juventus as they strive to maintain momentum in the league. Kolo Muani, who recently joined the club on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, opened the scoring in the 34th minute, giving Juventus a brief lead against the run of play.

The match took a turn as Como equalized just before halftime with a header from Assane Diao, leaving the score at 1-1. The second half was largely uneventful, with both teams struggling to find a breakthrough. However, the game changed dramatically in the final minutes when Como goalkeeper Jean Butez committed a foul, leading to a penalty for Juventus. Kolo Muani stepped up and converted the penalty in the 89th minute, sealing the win for his team.

This victory propelled Juventus to fourth place in the Serie A standings, now sitting on 43 points, just ahead of Fiorentina and Lazio. Kolo Muani's performance has been particularly impressive, making history by becoming the first player to score five goals in his first three Serie A matches since the three-points-for-a-win system was implemented in the 1994-95 season. His successful transition from PSG to Juventus has breathed new life into his career, and fans will be eager to see how he continues to impact the team moving forward.
