The Lariani jumped to a two-goal lead at San Siro, creating a real sense of possibility that Serie A’s prospective champions could be sent packing from the cup.
Martin Baturina netted the opening goal against the Nerazzurri, becoming the joint-highest scoring Serie A midfielder across all competitions this season.
However, the visitors intensified their efforts in the second half, withLucas Da Cunha extending their lead after receiving a setup fromNico Paz, who had reclaimed possession from deep.
The Argentine now holds the lead in the Italian top division for the most goal contributions since the start of the previous season following his latest assist.
Unfortunately for Como, the hosts mounted a comeback, overturning their deficit in just 20 minutes to secure their spot in the final next month.
