Cremonese falls in Salerno and slips to -11 points from Spezia (third): many wasted opportunities

La Cremonese falls into the house of a motivated Salernitana and slips to -11 from Spezia for a situation that increasingly endangers the play-off dispute at the end of the regular season B seriesThe match at the Arechi, which confirms itself as a traditionally difficult stadium for the grey-red colours, represents a "snapshot" of various matches played this year by the team Mister Stroppa.

The guests, once again, lacked generosity and good scoring opportunities (including a record collection of 11 corner kicks), but, once they fell behind (also due to a certain amount of bad luck), the Grigiorossi were unable to straighten out the situation and, despite hitting the crossbar with their shoulders Antov in the 36th minute of the second half, the Granata managed to keep their goal intact until the end.

The Cremonese coach presented some changes to the formation at the beginning of the match, but, as one might say in mathematics, by changing the factors the product remained the same. The Campanians of the ex Lochoshvili e Ghiglione From the very beginning they showed the concreteness of those who are aware of having to get a result to try to move away from a very uncomfortable position in the standings.

However, in the 11th minute, the episode that decided the match arrived. A cross-shot by njoh hits the post and ricochets off the feet of Raimondo who, all alone, bags the lead for Salernitana.

At this point the Grigiorossi proudly throw themselves forward in search of the equaliser, but the 1-1 just doesn't seem to come and, despite several great goal-scoring opportunities, the guests are forced to look to next Sunday's match at the last minute. “Zini” with South Tyrol with the obligation to find a prompt redemption.
