In a thrilling Coppa Italia clash, Como edged out Napoli after a tense penalty shootout, securing their place in the semifinals against Inter. The match was closely contested, with Napoli dominating possession but failing to register a shot on goal in the first half. Como capitalized on a defensive error by Olivera, converting a penalty through Baturina, before Napoli equalized shortly after halftime through a well-executed goal by Hojlund and Vergara.

The match continued in a deadlock, leading to penalties where both teams struggled to convert consistently. Napoli, who recently faced a similar situation in their previous round against Cagliari, found themselves once again in a tense shootout. The turning point came when Butez, Como's goalkeeper, made a crucial save against Lobotka's shot, ultimately sending Como through while maintaining their hopes alive in the tournament.

With this victory, Como not only progresses in the tournament but also extends Napoli's long wait for a Coppa Italia title, which they have not won in twelve years. This result highlights the competitive nature of Italian football and raises questions about Napoli's form and strategy as they move forward in their season. As Como prepares to face Inter, this win will boost their morale significantly, positioning them as underdogs who have already made a significant impact in the competition.
