Juventus lost 2-0 at Como, marking their sixth consecutive match without a win in all competitions, as Igor Tudor’s side struggles to find goals and consistency.

Juventus has suffered a 2-0 defeat at Como, extending their winless run to six consecutive matches in all competitions. The loss is a significant setback for Igor Tudor’s side, who had started the league season brightly but have since struggled to find goals and consistency.

Como took the lead in the fourth minute through a Marc-Oliver Kempf volley, and Juventus thought they had equalized in the 36th minute, only for Jonathan David’s effort to be ruled out for offside. The hosts continued to struggle, and Nico Paz doubled Como’s lead in the 79th minute with a brilliant solo effort.

Paz’s goal was his fourth of the season, and he has now contributed to eight of Como’s nine league goals this season. The 21-year-old Argentine has been in excellent form, and his performance was a key factor in Como’s victory.

Como moved up to fifth in the standings, level on 12 points with Juventus in sixth. The win was a significant achievement for the hosts, who had not beaten Juventus in Serie A since 1952.

Juventus coach Igor Tudor brought on striker Dusan Vlahovic for midfielder Manuel Locatelli in the 77th minute, but it was too late to change the course of the game. Tudor defended his team’s setup, saying they had believed it was the best approach, but acknowledged that they had struggled to cope with Como’s counter-attacks.

The loss is a major disappointment for Juventus, who had high hopes at the start of the season. The team will need to regroup and refocus if they are to turn their season around.
