Whistles Echo at San Siro During Milan’s Presentation as Cremonese Pulls Off a Stunning Draw
The new Serie A season has kicked off after a nearly three-month break, with teams undergoing significant changes. However, judging by the results, it seems like nothing has really changed.
Defending champions Napoli secured an away victory, while Milan faced an unexpected defeat at home against newcomer Cremonese!
What a surprise for the Milanese fans at the start of this new season, especially with a new coach, a revamped team, and elevated ambitions.
For the first time ever, the Cremona team celebrated a 2:1 victory at San Siro, leading to whistles from the packed stands aimed at both the players and coach Massimiliano Allegri, as well as management in the ceremonial box. But it’s just the beginning…
The visitors took the lead in the 28th minute with a well-placed header from Bashirot. When Pavlović managed to equalize in the dying seconds of first-half stoppage time, it appeared that the second half would favor the Rossoneri.
Instead, it turned out to be a breakthrough for Cremonese, with Bonacoli scoring a spectacular “scissors” goal to make it 1:2, sparking immense celebration from the visitors.
Luka Modrić started for Milan but was substituted during the second half.
Napoli triumphed 2-0 over Sassuolo, with Kevin de Bruyne netting his first Serie A goal.
The Belgian confirmed the victory he hinted at in the first half from a free kick, assisted by none other than Scott McTominay, the championship season’s hero, who scored a brilliant header.
Roma defeated Bologna 1-0 at the Olimpico in coach Giampiero Gasperini’s debut, with the decisive goal coming from Wesley France in the 53rd minute.
Lecce began their campaign without Nikola Krstović, ending in a goalless draw at home against Genoa.
