Paz shines for Como, Genoa sub Balotelli booked again

Argentina's 20-year-old midfielder Nico Paz has shown his talent again, this time providing an expert assist to earn Como a 1-1 draw at Genoa in Serie A.

Paz, who provided an assist for Lionel Messi during his Argentina debut last month, set up an early goal for Lucas Da Cunha when he spun around on the edge of the area and slid the ball right onto the foot of his oncoming teammate.

Da Cunha then bent a shot around a defender.

Alessandro Vogliacco scored an injury-time equaliser for Genoa.

Promoted Como are 14th and Alberto Gilardino's Genoa are 15th.

Mario Balotelli again came on in the second half after signing for Genoa last week.

And just like in his debut on Monday, Balotelli again picked up a yellow card shortly after coming on. This time it was for angrily muscling away a defender.
