“Cremonese struck almost immediately as Simone Lottici Tessadri finished off a Marco Nasti assist to make it 1-0 inside the opening five minutes.”
Pivotal“After a string of corners piling on the pressure, Adin Licina turned home Tommaso Bertini's assist to double Cremonese's lead right before the break.”
Pivotal“Parma made a mass overhaul at half-time, bringing on five fresh faces including El Bilal Touré and Sebastiano Luperto in a bid to salvage the tie.”

Outstanding performance
Cremonese•MidfielderCremonese made the perfect start, striking inside five minutes through Simone Lottici Tessadri before doubling their advantage via Adin Licina right on the stroke of half-time, a spell of pressure built from a flurry of corners. Parma, despite enjoying more dangerous attacks (68 to 30) and firing off 8 offsides worth of frustrated running in behind, simply couldn't convert territory into quality chances, managing only 2 shots on target all game against Cremonese's 6. The visitors were ruthlessly efficient, creating 5 big chances to Parma's 1 and missing 3 more, a sign of total control even without needing to be spectacular after the break. Parma's five substitutions at half-time signaled an admission that the game was already gone, and while they huffed and puffed for the remaining 45 minutes, Cremonese saw out a routine Coppa Italia win to advance.

How entertaining was this match?
Parma host Cremonese at the Tardini in a Coppa Italia second-round shootout where a shaky Serie A start makes the cup a welcome distraction — or another source of pressure. Cremonese arrive with recent bragging rights in this fixture and hope to use it to shake off their own league struggles.
