Lazio’s late winner left Cremonese on the brink of relegation after a 2-1 victory at Stadio Giovanni Zini. The match took place on May 6, 2023, and was critical for both teams in the Serie A.
Cremonese opened the scoring with Federico Bonazzoli finding the net early in the match. However, Lazio responded quickly. Gustav Isaksen equalized before halftime, setting up a tense second half. In added time, Tijjani Noslin scored the decisive goal for Lazio, sealing their win.
The result means Cremonese remain in 18th place in Serie A with just 28 points. They are now four points adrift of safety with only three games remaining this season. Their home form has been particularly troubling; they have not won in their last ten home matches, recording four draws and six losses.
Meanwhile, Lazio sits comfortably in 10th place, with 48 points. The team is preparing for an upcoming Coppa Italia Final against Inter Milan on May 9. Coach Maurizio Sarri’s squad is looking to build momentum following this crucial win.
Cremonese’s Jamie Vardy made his return from injury during the match. His presence could be vital as the team fights to avoid relegation. Yet, key players like Ivan Provedel and Danilo Cataldi remain sidelined for Lazio due to injuries, while Matteo Cancellieri is suspended.
The pressure is mounting on Cremonese as they need immediate results to stay in Serie A. Coach Marco Giampaolo acknowledged this urgency following the match. He stated that “Cremonese need results immediately to stay in the top flight.”
Lazio’s ability in transition proved decisive in this match, showcasing their strengths as they prepare for upcoming challenges.
