A match without history, with the Bianconeri immediately directing the game with fifteen minutes of fire. Miretti tries a volley from outside the area, the ball caroms off Bremer's trajectory and ends up behind Audero for 1-0, celebrated by the Brazilian with a special dedication to his wife. A few minutes later Juve strikes again: a devastating counterattack led by Thuram, ball to David who remains ice-cold in front of the goalkeeper and scores the second goal.

At the 24th minute, referee Feliciani awards a penalty for a contact between Locatelli and Johnsen, but after the OFR the penalty is revoked; strong protests from the Cremonese bench and a red card for Nicola. At the 33rd minute, a new episode in the area: handball by Baschirotto, this time the penalty is confirmed. From the spot, Yildiz has his shot deflected onto the post by Audero, but the Turk is the quickest on the rebound and scores the 3-0.

At the start of the second half, McKennie takes the stage: first a confused action born from a Miretti launch, with the midfielder skipping Audero and causing an own goal; then, a few minutes later, an undisputed goal, with Kalulu crossing from the right and the American heading in for 5-0.

The last time Juventus scored at least five goals was on February 4, 2018, against Sassuolo: "taboo" broken after almost eight years, with Spalletti also achieving his tenth victory on the Bianconeri bench. Cremonese licks its wounds, now at six matches without three points: difficult to obtain today, but next up is Verona in a real relegation battle.

😱 DI GREGORIO SAVES THE CLEAN SHEET: WHAT A SAVE

Cremonese tries to react: Sanabria acts as a pivot for Grassi, who shoots with his left from the edge. Di Gregorio comes into play, reactive in diving and deflecting the shot into a corner with a great save. From the corner, the visitors also find the net but it is disallowed for handball.

⚽⚽  MCKENNIE CAUSES OWN GOAL AND THEN SCORES!

48' and 64' - McKennie is at the center of the two Bianconeri goals at the start of the second half.

After three minutes from the restart, a confused but lethal action: Miretti finds Weston McKennie in depth, who sprints behind the defense, skips Emil Audero, and shoots towards the now unguarded goal. On the line, Bianchetti tries to intervene, but in the attempt to clear, he inadvertently hits Filippo Terracciano, with the ball still ending up in the net.

The Serie A League clarifies the goal's authorship, assigning the own goal to the Cremonese defender. However, the goal for the American comes at the 68th minute when Kalulu crosses from the right and delivers a perfect ball into the area, finding McKennie's impeccable header, which finds the net. Cremonese's defense is dismissed without appeal.

⚽ AUDERO DEFLECTS ONTO THE POST, YILDIZ COMPLETES THE TRIPLE

35' - The penalty kick taken by Yildiz is not perfect, as it is touched by Audero, but not enough to push it out. The ball, in fact, hits the right post and then returns to the Turk's availability, who this time puts it in, avoiding a bloody -3 for his fantasy managers. Juve's triple, match almost archived.

⚠ BASCHIROTTO HAND BALL, FELICIANI AWARDS PENALTY

33' - Baschirotto's intervention with his arm in the penalty area is punished with a penalty kick. The ball first hits the blue defender's leg, then his right arm. Feliciani points to the spot and the VAR does not intervene.

Marelli analyzes it like this: "Baschirotto touches the ball with his foot, yes, but the arm is very high, greatly increasing the body's volume"

🟥 LOCATELLI-JOHNSEN, PENALTY REMOVED AFTER OFR

24' - Feliciani points to the spot after a contact between Locatelli and Johnsen in the penalty area. The VAR calls the referee for a review, and after reviewing it, the penalty is removed. Nicola, for protests, is sent off under Spalletti's unyielding gaze.

Luca Marelli - DAZN's technical referee voice - comments: "There is contact on the ball, which in the momentum goes with the studs on the opponent's shin. Not an easy check, for me an excessive penalty because Locatelli first takes the ball".

⚽⚽ BREMER HIT BY MIRETTI, DAVID SCORES AGAIN!

Fifteen minutes of fire from Juventus, who find the double advantage.

Fabio Miretti tries a volley from outside the area, the ball travels towards the goal but finds Gleison Bremer on the trajectory, who inadvertently touches it just enough to wrong-foot Emil Audero and score the 1-0. Then the embrace to the sky: a special celebration from the Brazilian, who dedicates the goal to his wife Deborah, who is expecting.

A few minutes later, a lethal counterattack, Thuram races across the open field, crosses the entire field, and reaches the edge of Cremonese's area before unloading to Jonathan David. The striker controls, remains ice-cold in front of the goalkeeper, and does not miss, scoring the second goal.

🗣 SPALLETTI ON THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND KELLY

Luciano Spalletti speaks to Sky Sport: "We have earned the bicycle we dreamed of, now we need to pedal harder because the level to earn the Champions League is high. Playing with the results of others already known? It matters relatively, also because those ahead of us all have one game less. We have to run our own race, as we have done so far, we still have to go and take new things. Precisely because we play at this level here, in a stadium like this, wearing this jersey, we must push everything naturally, be ambitious. We have the obligation to show those who follow us that we want to fight with the strongest

Koopmeiners has qualities, Kelly has others: tonight we will face a very fast player, we will find ourselves several times in 1-on-1 situations and I need speed to escape towards the goal. Nicola's team uses this counterattack very well, Vardy always attacks the back of the defensive line".
