Torino 1-3 Como: three goals from the 81st minute turn it around
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 28% possession, Torino's lowest in 10 matches
- Torino led for about 57 minutes; Como scored 3 late
- xG 1 vs 2.16: Como had the better chances
Torino's long lead disappears late on
Torino went ahead in the 24th minute when Che Adams finished a Kian Fitz-Jim assist, and they kept that lead until Como scored three times from the 81st minute onwards. The third arrived in stoppage time through the substitute Martin Baturina. For most of the match, the scoreline gave little hint of what was coming.
Torino had far less of the ball than usual
Torino's 28% possession was the lowest in their 10 matches this season, while Como's 72% was a season high. Torino still managed a shot count close to their usual level, which suggests they created chances without holding the ball for long. The quality was lower, though: their xG per shot was below their season average.
Torino faced their highest xG of the season
Como's 2.16 xG was the highest Torino have faced this season, which suggests the late goals followed sustained pressure rather than coming out of nowhere. Como finished with three goals, outperforming their xG, while Torino's single goal merely matched theirs. Over the full 90 minutes, the better chances belonged to the visitors.
A defender's equaliser turned the match
Jacobo Ramón Naveros, a defender, levelled in the 81st minute with Nico Paz providing the assist. The goal cost Torino −1.6 FN xPts, and Paz's own goal soon afterwards, which made it 1-2, was worth +1.7 FN xPts to Como. Going from level to ahead moved both sides' expected points the most.
FN MOM
Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Nico Paz 9.0Dominant
One goal, one assist, six shots and three key passes.
The FN MOM's attacking numbers matter because both the equaliser and the go-ahead goal ran through him: he set up Jacobo Ramón Naveros in the 81st minute and scored the second himself in the 87th. He also made five defensive actions, three of them blocks, more than anyone else on the pitch, so his influence was not confined to the final third.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth
How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist. The value next to a team code is what the same moment did to the other side's expected points; the decisive moment is the one with the largest combined change for both teams.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
