RB Leipzig suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Como 1907 in their opening Champions League game on 10th September 2026.
Como begin on the front foot, pressing high and putting our boys under pressure from the outset. The first chances fell to Cesc Fàbregas' side.
Maarten Vandevoordt produced a fine save to deny Anastasios Douvikas in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper was beaten two minutes later. Martin Baturina was able to get a shot away from close range inside the penalty area and found the back of the net to put Como 1-0 ahead (15').
RBL almost responded immediately. Straight from the restart, Antonio Nusa found himself one-on-one with Como goalkeeper Jean Butez after getting on the end of a long ball, but his finish was too central and Butez made the save (16').
Leipzig then began to create more opportunities. Andrija Maksimović and Marc Guiu, who were both making their first starts for the club, went close in quick succession. Butez first made an excellent save to keep out Maksimović's curling effort, before Guiu sent a promising header wide just seconds later (36').
