Baturina scores in stoppage time as Como come from behind to beat Torino 3-1

Martin Baturina came off the bench and scored in the second minute of stoppage time on Tuesday to complete Como's 3-1 comeback win at Torino in Serie A. The 23-year-old Croatia international had been on the pitch since the 58th minute, Index.hr reports.

Torino lead, Como turn it around

Como had a goal by Anastasios Douvikas ruled out for a marginal offside in the fifth minute, Sportnet and Sportske novosti report. Torino then went ahead in the 24th minute. Como defender Jacobo Ramón lost the ball in his own penalty area, Kian Fitz-Jim won it and set up Che Adams, who beat goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.

Como coach Cesc Fàbregas brought on Baturina and Jayden Addai for Maxence Caqueret and Máximo Perrone in the 58th minute, per Index. Sánchez kept Como in the game with several saves. Sportnet and Sportske novosti mention one that turned a Giovanni Simeone header onto the bar.

Ramón made up for his error by heading in a Nico Paz cross for 1-1. Sportnet and Sportske novosti have that goal in the 81st minute; Index says the 82nd. Paz then headed in a Yan Couto cross in the 87th minute to put Como ahead.

Baturina's goal

In the 92nd minute Baturina punished a Torino mistake, but the sources describe it differently. Index says he intercepted a pass from Torino's Croatian captain Nikola Vlašić about 18 metres from goal, entered the box and won the duel with him. Sportnet says he took the ball from Vlašić and finished into the far corner. Sportske novosti says he stole it from the home side's defence and went one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

It was Baturina's third league goal this season. The earlier two came against Napoli on 30 August (a 2-1 away win, in which he also had an assist) and, five days later, against Genoa in a 4-1 win, according to Index. Index adds that he also scored and assisted against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on 10 September. He joined Como from Dinamo in summer 2025 for a fee Index puts at €18 million.

Four Croatians on the pitch

All four Croatians in the match played. Vlašić, who played as a right-sided midfielder in Torino's 3-5-2 under Ignazio Abate, went the full 90 minutes. Sandro Kulenović came on for Torino about four minutes before Como defender Ivan Smolčić, who entered in the 78th minute, according to Sportnet.

Como have 20 points and sit fourth, five points off the lead, per Index. Sportske novosti says Torino are eighth on 13 points.
