Overview
- Jamie Vardy’s early strike sealed a 1-0 win at Udinese for Cremonese, with an initial home penalty overturned by VAR for offside.
- Nikola Stulic then scored a 96th-minute winner for Lecce at Sassuolo, restoring their one-point lead and leaving Cremonese’s fate out of their hands.
- Cremonese now head to Como for the finale, a tough test since Como are still chasing a Champions League place.
- Coach Marco Giampaolo told DAZN the team must focus only on their own game, and he praised Vardy as a superior-level player after two goals in two matches since returning from injury.
- A relegation play-out would come into play if Cremonese draw at Como and Lecce lose to Genoa, which would leave both teams level on 35 points.
