45'+2

Half-time: Verona 0-0 Cremonese

And there’s the half. Verona comfortably on top as things stand. Orban with the biggest opportunity of the half, which he should have scored.

2025-09-15 18:19:32

45'+1

Audero wins a Cremonese free-kick from the corner. Into injury time: 2 added on. Almost half of it already gone.

42'

Another big Audero save for Cremonese! Giovane did brilliantly to free Bradaric on a quickfire attack. The Croatian tried to lift it over the Cremo stopper, but Audero took all the sting out of it, allowing Terracciano to clear off the line.

2025-09-15 18:14:41

40'

Verona adamant they should have had a penalty for a handball in the area. The referee appeared to briefly raise his whistle to his lips before deciding against it. Zanetti furious. Replays show that the incident happened outside of the area, anyway.

38'

The decision is overturned, and Verona are awarded a goal-kick rather than a Cremonese corner.

38'

Vandeputte wins Cremonese a corner.

2025-09-15 18:09:27

34'

Orban should score! He is slipped in by Serdar, has plenty of time to pick his spot, but takes one touch too many and Audero makes the save. The resulting corner comes to nothing.

2025-09-15 18:06:39

31'

Giovane’s header from the corner goes over the bar and behind for a goal-kick.

2025-09-15 18:02:31

30'

Giovane tries from a long, long way out. Audero can only push it behind for a corner. Verona dominating in terms of shots on target so far.

2025-09-15 18:02:05

29'

Gagliardini will not be able to continue. Akpa-Akpro on to replace the Verona debutant. Concerns he may have dislocated his shoulder.

2025-09-15 18:00:51

27'

Gagliardini goes down clutching his shoulder in a lot of discomfort. Players go to the touchline for a cooling break.

2025-09-15 18:00:03

23'

Baschirotto atones for a previous error by tracking back and getting a vital header to stop Orban’s cross from finding Giovane in the middle of the area. Corner Verona.

2025-09-15 17:55:18

Orban tries from distance for Verona, but it’s not on target. Another goal-kick.

2025-09-15 17:54:07

21'

Giovane tries to bend a low effort into the far corner from a nice angle within the area, but can’t quite steer his effort into the back of the net. Goal-kick.

2025-09-15 17:53:07

20'

Bonazzoli battles with Gagliardini on the edge of the Verona area, but the Cremonese man ends up giving away a free-kick.

Referee says no foul as Giovane goes down while racing through on goal.
