Late Double Seals Milan Victory Over Stubborn Cremonese
AC Milan left it late but ultimately secured a 2-0 victory over Cremonese at the Stadio Giovanni Zini, thanks to two stoppage-time goals. The match was a tense and tactical affair for much of the 90 minutes, with both sides deploying 3-5-2 formations and largely cancelling each other out. Milan edged possession with 53% and created more clear chances, registering 20 shots to Cremonese’s 15, but were frustrated by Emil Audero’s resilience in goal and a committed Cremonese backline. Cremonese, buoyed by the home crowd, matched Milan stride for stride and looked to have done enough for a hard-fought point. However, the visitors’ persistence paid off in the dying moments, as Milan struck twice in stoppage time to break the deadlock and leave the hosts heartbroken. The result keeps Milan’s momentum going in the Serie A title race, while Cremonese are left to rue their inability to hold on for a deserved draw.
Cremonese
Cremonese delivered a disciplined and spirited performance, frustrating Milan for most of the match with a compact 3-5-2 shape. They limited Milan’s attacking threats and created several openings of their own, mustering 15 shots and forcing Mike Maignan into action. The midfield worked tirelessly, with Morten Thorsby and Youssef Maleh providing energy and cover. However, a lack of clinical edge in the final third and lapses in concentration during stoppage time proved costly. Despite their defensive organization, Cremonese conceded twice at the death, undoing 90 minutes of hard work.
