Como found an early breakthrough in an unlikely way, while Amir Rrahmani's misplaced pass from outside the box unintentionally bounced past his keeper and in an open goal, leaving the visitors behind within 10 minutes.
However, Napoli reacted quickly, with Giacomo Raspadori who stopped a defensive decay, who split his marker in midfield before he threw a low finish in the Netwaard earring their way to a competition-best 11 games.
Napoli then took control, dictated the game and pushed the Lariani on the back foot in an attempt to bring their third consecutive defeat of the season of the season when the first half ended.
The men of Cesc Fàbregas – led by Gabriel Strefezza – brought the pressure after the break, but Napoli stood their ground. In search of a breakthrough, Antonio Conte turned just past the hour on his couch and introduced Giovanni Simeone and André-Frank Zambo Anguisissa.
The changes turned off almost immediately when Scott McTominay Jean Butez tested with a sharp Point-Blanco effort, only for the como goalkeeper to produce a stunning rescue to keep the scores level.
Just as Napoli thought they were coming back to the Groove, Como hit the run of playing on the other side. Assane Diao benefited for a counterattack and buried a low ride in the left corner and restored the lead of the hosts with less than 15 minutes.
Despite their efforts, Napoli eventually succumbed to a fourth consecutive Windless League match, although the defeat marks their first in as many trips. They are now one point behind leaders Inter Milan after a fourth loss of competition this campaign.
In the meantime, Como is in the victory after back-to-back victories, with the scary success compared to Conte's men their first H2H triumph since November 1952.
