In Como, Italy, Randal Kolo Muani secured a last-minute victory for Juventus, transforming a lackluster performance into a triumph with a penalty scored in the 89th minute, leading to a 2-1 win against Como in Serie A on Friday.

Kolo Muani, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, had another impressive outing, netting two goals in consecutive matches. He opened the scoring with a powerful shot into the net’s upper corner from a tight position in the 34th minute, giving Juventus an early advantage. However, Como equalized just before halftime, thanks to Cesc Fabregas’s efforts. Patrick Cutrone skillfully stole the ball from Teun Koopmeiners on the left flank, setting up Assane Diao for a precise header that brought the home team back into the contest.

As the match neared its conclusion, Kolo Muani stepped up to convert a penalty after Jean Butez was penalized for handling the ball, allowing him to claim his fifth goal in just three matches. This crucial win propelled Juventus to fourth place in the league standings, putting them one point ahead of Lazio and Fiorentina, both of whom have a match in hand. Lazio is scheduled to face the last-placed Monza on Sunday, while Fiorentina will meet the second-placed Inter Milan on Monday.

For Como, this defeat marked their third consecutive loss, leaving them in 15th position in the standings, just two points clear of the relegation zone. The team’s recent struggles underline the challenges they face as the season progresses.
