Diao's goal was one of four scored by Como in the match, with Martin Baturina, Tasos Douvikas, and Maxi Perrone also finding the back of the net. Despite RB Leipzig's Andrija Maksimovic scoring a goal, it was not enough to prevent a convincing win for Como. Diao's childhood dream of playing in the Champions League has come true, and he expressed his joy at the result, saying "We must all dream, that is the greatest thing in life. I dreamed of this moment and it came true." The 21-year-old joined Como in 2025 but barely played due to injury.
