Serie A Standing BEFORE the game
Cremonese, 5th position with 3 points and a positive goal difference of +1
Sassuolo, 19th position with 0 points and a negative goal difference of -2

Following their remarkable display at San Siro against AC Milan, Davide Nicola's Cremonese will commence the second round of the league season by welcoming Sassuolo to the Stadio Zini on Friday, 29 August 2025. The objective for the Grigiorossi is straightforward: to capitalize on the strong performance they exhibited in the opening round and demonstrate that their recent success was not merely a one-off event. Conversely, Grosso's squad is under pressure to bounce back after their loss to the formidable Napoli. Although it appears to be a contest between two evenly matched teams, both clubs are aware that the three points at stake could be vital for their season's progression.

  ⚽️  Cremonese gained the advantage in the 37th minute. Filippo Terracciano netted a header from the center of the box into the bottom left corner, outsmarting goalkeeper Aro Muric. The goal was set up by Jari Vandeputte, who delivered a cross after a corner given away by Daniel Boloca.

⚽️  Cremonese is taking control of the match. In the 39th minute, Franco Vázquez found the back of the net from very close range with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. The assist came from Antonio Sanabria. Doig lost possession on the left, Sanabria received the ball in the box, maneuvered past Muric, and struck it into the net. Vázquez tapped it in right on the line, putting them in the lead! A lethal one-two from the Grigiororo!
