😳 First slip: Cremonese topple Milan at San Siro | OneFootball

In an exciting start to Serie A, Cremonese shone on their return to the top flight with an impressive 2-1 victory over Milan at San Siro.

Despite Milan's dominance in possession and opportunities, it was Cremonese who struck first with a header from Baschirotto. Milan equalized through Pavlovic just before the break, but Bonazzoli's acrobatic bicycle kick sealed the victory for the visitors.

Allegri's return to Milan was overshadowed as his team failed to capitalize on their opportunities, leaving them with a disappointing start to the season.

Player of the Match

Federico Bonazzoli takes the Player of the Match award for his impressive bicycle kick that secured the victory for Cremonese. His goal not only showcased his technical brilliance but also proved to be the decisive moment in a closely contested match.

Worrying Statistic

Despite having 63.9% possession and 24 total goal attempts, Milan only managed one goal, highlighting their struggle to convert dominance into goals.

What We Learned

Milan's offensive superiority was evident, but their inability to finish opportunities cost them dearly.

Allegri's tactical adjustments, including a switch to a back four, showed his intent to seek victory, but it wasn't enough.

Cremonese's resilience and clinical finishing, especially Bonazzoli's dream goal, demonstrated their potential to surprise in Serie A. The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, with fans witnessing a mix of tactical battles and individual brilliance.

What's Next for Both?

Milan will look to recover away against Lecce. Cremonese, buoyed by their victory, will host Sassuolo, hoping to maintain their momentum in the league.
