Cremonese beats Sassuolo for second straight win on Serie A return
Cremonese became the first promoted team since 2012 to win their opening two Serie A games, sealing a 3-2 victory with a last-minute penalty against Sassuolo.
- On August 29, Cremonese secured a 3-2 home win over US Sassuolo Calcio at Stadio Giovanni Zini, Manuel De Luca scoring the stoppage-time penalty for victory.
- As a newly promoted side, US Cremonese became the first since Sampdoria in 2012 to win their first two Serie A matches after beating AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro last week.
- Cremonese led 2-0 before Sassuolo, with Filippo Terracciano opening on 37 minutes and Franco Vázquez adding a second two minutes later; Andrea Pinamonti and Domenico Berardi then equalized before an 84th-minute Cremonese goal was disallowed.
- Sassuolo are pointless after two matches as Ismael Koné was suspended and injuries sidelined Kristian Thorstvedt and Laurs Skjellerup, while Nemanja Matic and Aster Vranckx debuted.
- Manuel De Luca's first Serie A goal, a stoppage-time penalty, secured a comeback that gives US Cremonese early momentum after also beating AC Milan last week.
