Como's Coppa Italia semi-final run ended at San Siro on April 22 when Inter 3-2 Como, a result that denied Cesc Fàbregas's side a place in the final after they had led 2-0. Marko Vojvoda, Como's 31-year-old right defender, was part of a backline that ultimately could not hold a two-goal advantage against one of Serie A's elite clubs — a painful but instructive measure of where this project currently stands.
Fàbregas was candid after the defeat, acknowledging that Como are "not on the same level as Inter, but getting close." That framing matters for Vojvoda specifically. A defender rated 52 out of 100 by AI assessment, with a potential ceiling of 35 — a figure that reflects diminishing developmental runway at 31 — Vojvoda's value to this squad is functional rather than speculative. He contributes what the team needs now, not what he might become.
His 2025-26 league numbers bear that out. Across 27 Serie A appearances, Vojvoda has contributed two goals and two assists, with an average match rating of 6.70. For a defensive player on a side that has conceded only 28 goals in 33 league matches — the fifth-best defensive record in the division — that is a profile of quiet reliability. He is not the player who wins games; he is part of the structure that keeps Como in them.
The broader context sharpens the picture. Como sit fifth in Serie A with 58 points from 33 matches, a record of 16 wins, 10 draws, and 7 defeats. That is a genuinely competitive season for a club navigating its return to the top flight, and Vojvoda has been present for the majority of it. Fàbregas, speaking after the Inter defeat, said he "slept serenely" — a coach who has absorbed a loss without crisis, focused instead on the Genoa fixture ahead.
With the 36th matchday approaching, Vojvoda's role is clear: hold the defensive shape that has made Como's season legitimate, and help the club finish in Europe's shadow if not its light.
