GENOA, Italy (AP) — Nico Paz, a 20-year-old Argentine midfielder, showed his talent on Thursday, providing a wonderful assist in Como’s 1-1 draw against Genoa in Italian Serie A.
Paz, who had already assisted his compatriot Lionel Messi last month, during his debut with the Argentina national team, set up Lucas Da Cunha’s early goal, when he turned on the edge of the area and filtered the ball right at the foot of his teammate that was advancing.
Da Cunha scored masterfully with a shot that curved around a defender.
Alessandro Vogliacco scored the equalizing goal in injury time for Genoa.
The newly promoted Como is in 14th place and Alberto Gilardino’s Genoa is in 15th.
Mario Balotelli came on again in the second half after signing for Genoa last week. And, just like on his debut on Monday, Balotelli again received a yellow card shortly after coming on. This time it was for shoving a defender aside in anger.
