Assane Diao gets his season off to a flying start with Como in Serie A
First goal and first assist
The Senegalese scored and provided an assist on Sunday 22 March against Pisa in the Italian league.
It’s a big comeback for Assane Diao with his club in Italy’s Serie A. Having been sidelined for a long time due to injury, the Senegalese international gradually returned to competitive action a few weeks ago. But he hadn’t yet made his mark.
However, on Sunday 22 March 2026, the 20-year-old striker got his campaign off to a flying start with a goal and an assist. Against Pisa on matchday 30 of Serie A, Diao produced his best performance of the season. The Senegalese opened the scoring in the 7th minute to give Como the lead before providing the assist that allowed Anastasios Douvikas to double the lead in the 29th minute.
