Commentary
Taking seamlessly to Champions League football, European rookies Como beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on an historic night at Stadio Sinigaglia, starting the league phase in some style. Less than a decade after leaving Serie D, they taste success in UEFA's top competition. Clearly the better side throughout the first half, the hosts claimed a merited lead when Baturina smartly finished from close range, before Douvikas doubled that advantage as half-time approached. Though Leipzig returned with renewed vigour after the break, Diao's ruthless finish put the Lariani three up and effectively killed off the contest. A stylish strike by Maksimovic briefly threatened to set up an interesting finale, but Leipzig eventually ran out of steam and Como sub Perrone sealed the deal on 90 minutes. Both goalkeepers were also called upon several times in an open encounter, in which the home side accrued 2.3 xG to their visitors' 1.42 from 14 shots apiece. Tougher challenges are to come, but Como coach Fabregas has laid down a marker with this typically dominant performance, and he'll keenly anticipate a trip to Rotterdam to face Feyenoord next month. Meanwhile, Leipzig - who have suffered back-to-back defeats while shipping seven goals - are set to visit PSV on matchday two. That's all from our live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
FULL-TIME: COMO 4-1 RB LEIPZIG
Summing up Leipzig's night, Raum thunders his 20-yard free-kick into the top of Como's defensive wall.

For shoving over Ouedraogo just outside his own area, Perrone adds a booking to his goal. It's been an eventful cameo for the second-half substitute.
In the second minute of three added for stoppages, Nusa drives inside from the left and sees a deflected cross loop up off Perrone; it's a simple task for Butez to collect it.
Recording his second assist of the match, Paz picks up possession on the right, then waits for Perrone to move forward before releasing his team-mate into the area.
