Coppa Italia: Comfortable Como sweep Sassuolo aside 3-0

Como will face Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia Round of 16, as they wasted no time disposing of Sassuolo 3-0 with Tasos Douvikas and a Jesus Rodriguez brace.

The hosts were feeling confident after Sunday’s comeback from 1-0 down to beat Fiorentina 2-1 in Serie A, and lined up another encounter with the Viola this season.

They had the ideal start this evening, opening the scoring within 120 seconds thanks to a Jesus Rodriguez strike, set up by Tasos Douvikas.

Lucas da Cunha forced a save, but Martin Baturina was putting himself about on his full debut for the Lariani, and his corner was whipped in for the Douvikas header and 2-0.

Jesus Rodriguez was also making the most of the opportunity and completed his brace just before half-time by sweeping in the Maxence Caqueret assist.

It was one-way traffic, a Da Cunha snapshot from distance pushed over the bar, then saves on Baturina and the Marc Oliver Kempf header.

Daniel Boloca and late on Luca Moro were the only ones to really test the goalkeeper Jean Butez.
