Paz dazzles as Como thrash Manchester United 4-1

Joshua Zirkzee grabbed United's stoppage-time consolation from Amad Diallo's cross.

Como's Nico Paz led his side to a commanding 4-1 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday. The Argentine striker opened the scoring just two minutes into the match with a remarkable curling effort from the edge of the box. United's night took a turn for the worse as Paz added a second goal four minutes after halftime, displaying excellent ball control after a seamless pass exchange.

The Argentine then capitalized on a defensive error, stealing the ball near the right touchline and racing diagonally before scoring his third with a left-footed finish. In the 76th minute, substitute Kaiki Bruno provided an assist for Como's fourth goal, as center back Jacobo Ramon headed the ball past Senne Lammens. United's Joshua Zirkzee scored the host's consolation goal from Amad Diallo's stoppage-time cross.

In France, Galatasaray secured a thrilling 4-2 win over Lille, overcoming two early setbacks. Yunus Akgun gave Galatasaray the lead shortly after the match started, but Soriba Diaoune and Alexey Batrakov equalized for Lille before Lucas Torreira scored what was later confirmed as an own goal for Nabil Bentaleb. Victor Osimhen sealed the win for Galatasaray in the 59th minute with a powerful strike from the edge of the box.
