Overview
- The incident occurred at the Mapei Stadium after a 1-0 loss to Sassuolo, with the team bus departing without the starting goalkeeper.
- Audero remained in the mixed zone speaking with Indonesian journalists who were following him and national-team teammate Jay Idzes of Sassuolo.
- Cremonese subsequently arranged the club's service car to return Audero to Lombardy, with assistance from Sassuolo reported.
- Staff did not conduct a departure roll call because Reggio Emilia is nearby and the following day was off, and nine other players traveled back independently.
- The episode drew online jokes linking it to Audero’s error on Fadera’s winner, while coverage described the matter as an overblown logistical hiccup.
