Cremonese-Salernitana 2-0: the Grigiorossi greet Serie A with a victory

The season ended with a victory for Cremonese, who said goodbye to Serie A with a 2-0 win against Salernitana: the goals from Buonaiuto, from a penalty kick, and from Tsadjout were decisive. Painless defeat for the Campanians, already certain of salvation. The Lombard team, on the other hand, immediately returns to Serie B: 5 seasonal victories with 27 points conquered. However, there was no shortage of positive notes, Ballardini’s boys still reached the semi-final of the Italian Cup, which they then lost to Fiorentina. However, the climate was not the best, the Grigiorossi fans displayed a banner addressed to the club: “Season 2023-24: serious and transparent project for Cremona and its people”.

The first ring came from Meite, the midfielder kicked on goal but the shot was deflected wide. In the 24th minute the episode that gave the match a turning point: Buonaiuto anticipated Bohinen in the area, Mr. Perenzoni first let it go and then awarded the penalty – converted by Buonaiuto himself in the 26th minute – after being called back to the VAR. The Campania players responded first with Candreva and then with Coulibaly, but both shots ended up on the back foot. 4′ after the restart, play was interrupted for about five minutes due to a launch of smoke bombs onto the pitch by the home sector, after the announcer’s announcement, play resumed without further problems. In the 22nd minute, the guests came close to equalizing, but Piatek was unable to coordinate in the opposing area. Cremonese still looked for the 2-0 goal, but Valeri’s free-kick ended on the back. The doubling came two minutes from the end with Tsadjout, who took over from Ciofani in the second half: the class of ’99, after an exchange with Meite, mocked Ochoa with an unstoppable shot at the far post. In full stoppage time, the referee whistled a penalty for Salernitana for a foul by Aiwu on Sambia, but after further review by the VAR, the penalty was revoked.
