Como beat Lens 9-1 at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Wednesday in the Champions League league stage. Anastasios Douvikas scored a hat-trick, with goals in the 7th, 32nd and 57th minutes.
Nico Paz scored in the 40th minute, and Lucas Da Cunha, Marc Oliver Kempf, Mattia Liberali and Martin Baturina also found the net for Como. Matteo Papaccioli completed the rout in stoppage time. Ruben Aguilar scored Lens's only goal in the 65th minute.
AS described Paz as one of the standout performers of the match. RMC reports that he did not celebrate his goal in the usual way, instead showing a T-shirt bearing the image of Spanish striker Jesus de Miguel in tribute. FootVal's valuation of Paz is €86m, against a market value of €80m on Transfermarkt, and his contract runs until June 2028.
Como are fourth in the Champions League table with nine points from four games, while Lens are 33rd with three points. Como face Inter in Serie A on Sunday 8 November, and Lens host Marseille in Ligue 1 the same day at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
