Jesus Rodriguez strikes as Como edge closer to Champions League

Como 1907 secured a crucial 1-0 win over Ternana with a 78th-minute strike from Jesus Rodriguez. The victory keeps Como top of Serie B with 61 points from 29 games. Jesus Rodriguez’s goal was his 12th of the season, extending his tally as Como’s top scorer. The result maintains their four-point lead over second-placed Cagliari.
