Como made soccer's history by defeating Verona at the Bentegodi Stadium and qualifying for the European competition for the first time. Douvikas scored the game-winning goal, his thirteenth of the season, with a precise and powerful diagonal goal that rewarded Fabregas' team's determination. Verona performed an intense and prideful match, despite their relegation, frequently causing difficulties for the Como team, particularly in the first half. After halftime, however, Como improved, thanks in part to Fabregas' contributions from the bench. Douvikas' goal broke the deadlock, rendering Hellas' next attempt pointless, including a goal by Bowie that was ruled out for offside. At the final whistle, Como’s celebrations erupted: Europe is now a reality.
