Nico Paz continues to steal the spotlight in Serie B, delivering yet another sensational performance for Como in what has been a remarkable season for the 20-year-old attacking midfielder. The Real Madrid-owned talent produced a breathtaking display tonight, proving once again why he is considered one of the most exciting young prospects in European football.
Paz played 84 minutes and dictated the rhythm throughout the match, showcasing maturity well beyond his age. He registered a crucial goal that helped tilt momentum in Como’s favour, but his influence extended far beyond the scoresheet. His ball control, creativity, and relentless energy were on full display as he completed the most dribbles and won the most duels of any player on the pitch.
Statistically, the night was a masterpiece. Paz completed 40 out of 46 passes, demonstrating accuracy and composure under pressure, along with 5 out of 6 successful long balls, proving his exceptional vision. His defensive contribution was equally impressive with 6 recoveries and 7 out of 10 ground duels won, showcasing his willingness to work hard off the ball.
Tonight’s performance increases his tally to 9 goal contributions (G/A) this season, an outstanding return for a young midfielder adapting to the physical demands of Italian football.
