A disallowed late goal and strong goalkeeping performances define a tense stalemate at the Zini, with Cremonese left frustrated after failing to capitalize at home.
Cremonese and Torino played out a goalless draw on Matchday 33 in a match low on chances but high on controversy, as a late winner for the hosts was ruled out after VAR intervention.
The result keeps Cremonese hovering just above the relegation zone, while Torino leave with a point after a largely uninspired performance.
Quiet First Half Offers Little Action
The opening 45 minutes were dominated by caution, with both sides focused on maintaining defensive shape rather than taking risks going forward.
Chances were virtually nonexistent, as Cremonese struggled to break down Torino’s backline, while the visitors failed to create any meaningful opportunities.
Second Half Brings Action—and Controversy
The game came to life after the break, with Cremonese increasing the tempo and pushing forward.
Federico Bonazzoli tested goalkeeper Alberto Paleari with a curling effort from the edge of the box, but the Torino shot-stopper produced an excellent save to keep the score level.
The decisive moment appeared to arrive late in the match when Federico Baschirotto poked home from close range following a scramble in the box. However, after an on-field review, the referee ruled the goal out for a foul on Paleari, sparking protests from the home side.
Goalkeepers Stand Tall
Torino’s best chance came late on, but Emil Audero denied Petar Kulenovic with a crucial save to preserve the clean sheet.
Despite late pressure from Cremonese, neither side could find a breakthrough, and the match ended 0-0.
The result does little to ease Cremonese’s relegation concerns, with the survival battle remaining wide open.
