Como responded before the interval, with Martin Baturina weaving into the Arsenal box before firing the ball high into the roof of the net to restore parity.
With neither side able to find a winner during normal time, the friendly was decided by penalties, with Arsenal emerging 4-3 winners.
Mikel Arteta’s side will now turn their attention to competitive action, beginning with Sunday’s Community Shield clash against Manchester City at Wembley.
Arsenal will then commence their Premier League title defence next Friday when they host Coventry.
