La Cremo came into today’s game needing a result, sitting in 17th place but level on points with Lecce in the relegation zone. They made just one change to their starting line-up with Antonio Sanabria returning to the XI in place of David Okereke, while visitors Torino went with an unchanged team after recording back-to-back victories over the last two weeks.

It wasn’t a spectacular showing from either side in the opening 45 minutes: The two sides registered a combined two shots in the opening 45 minutes, neither of which were on target. 

The first was a blocked attempt by Alberto Grassi following a Cremonese corner and the second was a wildly flashed shot from Federico Bonazzoli off his left foot from the corner of the penalty area 41 minutes in. 

Bonazzoli came much closer with the game’s first shot on target 57 minutes in, bending an effort off his left again, which was heading for the top corner this time. Alberto Paleari was at full stretch to tip it behind for a corner.

Federico Baschirotto thought he had opened the scoring two thirds of the way through proceedings after a scramble in the area following an Alessio Zerbin delivery, but the goal was later ruled out after a VAR check. The officials deemed that Baschirotto had committed a foul on goalkeeper Paleari while lunging in with his attempt to get the ball over the line. 

David Okereke provided a great ball across the face of goal after a bursting run down the right flank, but Marcus Holmgren Pedersen got a crucial interception in just before it arrived at the feet of Sanabria.

Despite their best efforts, Cremonese and Torino ended Sunday’s meeting goalless. Cremoense remain without a win at home in Serie A since early December and are now just one point above the relegation zone with 18th-placed Lecce due to play on Monday night, now aware that an overtake is on. Torino stay put in 12th place and will remain there for the week regardless of the other results on Sunday and Monday.
