Como stormed into the Champions League record books with a 9-1 win at Lens on 4 November, equalling the biggest victory in the competition's history, Reuters reported in a story carried by The Straits Times.
Como also became the first team since 1971 to score nine goals away from home in the European Cup, and only the second after Bayern Munich to score nine in a Champions League match.
Como led 3-0 at half-time, with Anastasios Douvikas scoring twice, before striking another five goals in a 22-minute spell after the break. Douvikas completed his hat-trick during that surge, while Ruben Aguilar pulled one back for Lens before Matteo Papaccioli rounded off the rout in stoppage time.
"It's an incredible night," the Como captain, Lucas Da Cunha, said.
It was a third victory in four matches, lifting Como to fourth in the standings on nine points and continuing a remarkable debut campaign in which the club has scored 19 goals. That tally equals Queens Park Rangers' 1976 record for the most scored by a club in its first four matches in major European competition.
Cesc Fabregas' side has already beaten RB Leipzig and Manchester United 4-1 this season. Como next face AEK Athens and Real Betis before ending the league phase against Paris St Germain and Barcelona.
Lens, 33rd in the standings with three points, suffered the heaviest Champions League defeat by a French club. The club also became the first team from Europe's top five leagues to concede nine goals at home in European competition.
"The only word that comes to mind is a feeling of humiliation," the Lens coach, Yannick Cahuzac, told Canal+.
The record books, read without sentiment, show a productive evening for both clubs. Como equalled the competition's biggest win and matched a goalscoring record that had stood since 1976. Lens entered one of its own, in a category no club from Europe's major leagues had previously reached.
Three record entries from a single fixture is an efficient return, and all three were produced by the same ninety minutes, the same nine goals and the same defending. There is no version of the evening in which one club achieves its record and the other does not.
Our analysts note that this symmetry is rarely acknowledged. A record measures an extreme, and an extreme requires two parties: the club that reaches it and the club that permits it. The competition keeps the first and declines to celebrate the second.
The Department of Unnecessary Research has accordingly written to UEFA proposing that conceding records be awarded alongside scoring ones, on the grounds that they are the same achievement observed from the other end of the pitch. Lens has already stated its position on the matter.
