Como climb into Serie A top five after comeback win over Lecce

In Round 27 of the Serie A season, Como hosted relegation-threatened Lecce knowing that victory would lift them into fifth place.
The visitors stunned the home crowd early on, but then Tasos Douvikas restored parity before the break with a composed finish, setting the tone for a ruthless response. Moments later, Jesús Rodríguez turned the game on its head, punishing hesitant defending to give the hosts the lead. And just before half-time, Marc-Oliver Kempf made it three — completing a remarkable first-half turnaround.
