Como 4-1 Man Utd: Nico Paz inspired Como to a famous win, but an abject United performance leaves Michael Carrick facing immediate questions over his future
ROME: Manchester United are hardly putting up a fight in the Champions League these days. Michael Carrick’s struggling team were beaten 4-1 at competition newcomer Como on Wednesday and United have now been outscored 6-1 in their last two European matches. Nico Paz scored twice and also set up another score for Cesc Fabregas’ Como, which were playing in the fourth division of Italian soccer just seven years ago. In the other early game, Galatasaray won 4-2 at Lille with Victor Osimhen scorin
A husband and father of three children was reportedly shot dead in front of his wife on Sunday following a dispute at a softball game in Humble, Texas.
Manchester United were beaten 4-1 by Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a result that heaps further pressure on manager Michael Carrick.
Argentina playmaker Nico Paz scored after 118 seconds, set up Tasos Douvikas for the second on 49 minutes and added his own second on 57.
Jacobo Ramon headed in a fourth on 76 minutes, while Joshua Zirkzee, who beat the offside trap to meet a cross from Amad Diallo, scored a consolation in stoppage time.
The early goal made United the first English side to concede inside the first two minutes of consecutive major European matches.
Eight days earlier they had let in after the first minute against Atletico Madrid.
Como led 1-0 at half-time and the margin could have been wider, with United at one stage threatened with equalling their record European defeat, a 5-0 loss to Sporting in 1964.
Carrick made changes at the interval, withdrawing Matheus Cunha and Andrey Santos, who cost a combined £110m, for Diallo and Carlos Baleba.
Captain Bruno Fernandes made way for Zirkzee on 67 minutes, as defender Matthijs de Ligt, playing on his return from 11 months out, was replaced by Harry Amass on 79.
Goalkeeper Senne Lammens made a near-post save on a slippery surface and was rated the visitors’ best performer, though he could do little about the opener or the third.
Noussair Mazraoui struggled most, losing his footing under pressure and being beaten by Como’s Alberto Moreno da Cunha.

On Tuesday, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero was honored with the Juan Marichal Award, an accolade given annually to the best Dominican player in Major League Baseball.

A NFL e a Prefeitura de Guarulhos dão início, nesta sexta-feira (23), ao Programa NFL Flag nas escolas da cidade. A parceria leva o flag football a 50 escolas da rede municipal já na primeira temporada do projeto.
A primeira iniciativa acontece com a capacitação de 100 professores de educação física, responsáveis por implementar as aulas da modalidade nas unidades.
Cada escola participante do programa receberá equipamentos profissionais para a prática da modalidade. Assim, os professores poderão incluir o flag football nas aulas de educação física, nas quadras das próprias unidades.
Os alunos também passam a competir no calendário de torneios de NFL Flag no país. A partir da próxima temporada, os campeonatos regionais da modalidade vão reunir somente escolas e projetos sociais esportivos sem fins lucrativos que façam parte do Programa NFL Flag nas escolas.
“Trazer uma modalidade como o flag football para a Educação de Guarulhos, por meio de uma parceria com a NFL, uma das maiores referências esportivas do mundo, representa um avanço importante para nossa rede. Além de apresentar um novo esporte, estamos ampliando oportunidades de aprendizagem, incentivando o trabalho em equipe, a disciplina, o respeito e o desenvolvimento integral dos nossos estudantes.”, destaca o Secretário de Educação, Rafael Carvalho.
Lançado no país em 2023, o programa oficial de flag football da NFL já impacta mais de 10 mil jovens em projetos gratuitos com escolas públicas e, em neste ano, ampliou sua atuação para além de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, com parcerias em Petrópolis (RJ) e com o Governo do Paraná e a Prefeitura de Curitiba. Agora, Guarulhos passa a integrar a iniciativa.
“É fantástico acompanhar a evolução do NFL Flag em todo o Brasil. Estamos conquistando cada vez mais espaços, em ótimas parcerias com secretarias municipais e estaduais, para impactar a base esportiva brasileira, que são crianças e jovens.”, celebra o general manager da NFL no Brasil, Luis Martinez.
Em setembro, a liga anunciou ainda um investimento de quase 160 mil dólares (próximo de R$ 802 mil) em quatro organizações sociais do país, que vão alcançar mais de 3 mil participantes: Fundação Gol de Letra (Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo), Eprocad e UmRio.
Sem contato físico, o flag football é praticado por cerca de 20 milhões de pessoas em mais de 100 países, e fará sua estreia olímpica nos Jogos de Los Angeles 2028.
