Cremonese•AttackerCagliari staged a dramatic late comeback to snatch a point at Cremonese in a thrilling encounter that saw both sides trade blows throughout. The hosts looked to be cruising after Dennis Johnsen's early opener was followed by veteran Jamie Vardy's clinical finish to establish a commanding 2-0 lead within the first half-hour. Michel Adopo pulled one back for the visitors early in the second half, setting up a tense finale that culminated in substitute Yael Trepy's equalizer just two minutes from time. The result leaves both teams in the thick of a relegation battle, with this point potentially proving crucial come season's end.
Two teams in poor form meet at Stadio Giovanni Zini in a rare Serie A reunion, with their last top-flight encounter dating back to 1996. Cremonese hold a strong historical advantage at home against Cagliari, but both sides desperately need points after opening 2026 with defeats.
