The party is here. Como regains Serie A, which had been missing since 2003. The promotion came with a thrill, thanks to Venezia’s defeat in La Spezia, after a difficult draw with Cosenza. An electric night, with continuous twists and turns: the lagoon players take the lead in Liguria and savor the Serie A dream, which seems to become reality when Tutino takes Cosenza forward. Sinigaglia petrified.
In the second half everything changes: a brace in 4 minutes from Francesco Pio Esposito cuts off Venezia’s legs and frees up Como, who equalized with a penalty from former Toro Verdi (the best on the pitch) and then also came close to winning. At the final whistle the pitch was invaded, only after thirty seconds of silence awaiting the final result from La Spezia. The path of this Como starts in 2019, with the arrival of the Indonesian Hartono family: one step at a time, from series D to A.
Brothers Robert and Michael created an empire with the Djarum cigarette brand, their assets are estimated at 24 billion dollars (each). This season they had the courage to change manager on the fly, entrust the team to Fabregas (supported by Roberts), invest in the January transfer market when they realized that promotion was an objective within reach. After the party, fireworks last night on the lake made the show suggestive, it will be time to plan: the stadium will be modernized (Mirwan Suwarso, Hartono’s right-hand man at work), the team made competitive for Serie A. Where they can arrive, we will find out soon. The verdicts after the last day of Serie B: promotion for Parma and Como; Venezia made the playoffs, Lecco, Feralpisalò and Ascoli were relegated to Serie C; Bari goes to the playouts.
