Como kept up their stunning bid for Champions League football on Sunday by beating relegated Verona 1-0 and moving to within two points of Serie A's top four.
Tasos Douvikas rattled home the only goal of the game in the 71st minute at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi as Como moved up to fifth and piled pressure on fourth-placed AC Milan.
Como have never played in European competition in their history and were in the third tier of Italian football when acquired by tobacco giant Djarum in 2019.

Cesc Fabregas' team will drop back down to sixth, which currently offers a Conference League place, if Roma win at Parma later on Sunday.
Milan host Atalanta in the day's late match and could be level on points with Roma by the time they kick off at the San Siro.
