Verona-Cremonese 0-0

Il Verona Zanetti started strong and built from the first minutes. The best chances fell to Giovane, who after a quarter of an hour saw his shot blocked by the timely exit of the opposing goalkeeper, before going close to the target with a curling right-footer and trying again from outside, always saved by the number one of the team. CremoneseUp front, Sanabria and Bonazzoli struggled to receive playable balls, with the Lombardy team stuck in their own half for much of the first half. The hosts created two more clear chances: Orban in the 33rd minute and Bradaric in the 41st minute were denied by a brilliant Audero.

After the break, Verona slowed the pace slightly, and Cremonese tried to make themselves more visible, finding some space on the counterattack. In the 59th minute, a historic moment arrived for the Grigiorossi, with Jamie Vardy's Serie A debut, but he remained on the sidelines. In the final minutes, the Gialloblu continued to push forward. Giovane squandered the most dramatic opportunity in the 93rd minute after a splendid run, but was once again blocked by the unstoppable Audero. The match thus ended on a par. 0-0A result that's worth gold for Cremonese given the difficulties they've encountered. With this draw, the Lombardy team climbs to seven points from three games, drawing level with Udinese in third place and remaining just two points behind Napoli and Juventus.

Como-Genoa 1-1

The match opened at a blistering pace. After just one minute, the Rossoblù mounted a lightning-fast counterattack: Norton-Cuffy ran down the right and crossed into the center, but Colombo couldn't connect with the ball. In the 10th minute, Masini attempted a shot, but his effort was blocked by the Como defense. Three minutes later, Como took the lead. Colombo misplaced an opening and passed the ball to Kuhn, who intercepted it and played Morata in. The Spaniard passed it to Nico Paz, who shrugged off Masini with a stunning turn and unleashed a crisp left-footed strike that left Leali with no chance. The fans erupted in celebration of the 2004-born striker's masterpiece. The goal galvanized the home side, who almost doubled their lead in the 30th minute: Kuhn outpaced Martin and found Leali, who did a brilliant job of blocking with his foot. On the rebound, however, Morata incredibly missed into an empty net. Genoa rallied and came close to equalizing in the 34th minute: Malinovskyi played it to Martin, who, with a clever touch, found Colombo. The former Empoli player fired from close range but was saved by Butez.

In the second half, Vieira's team attempted to take control of the game, but struggled to create any real threat. Malinovskyi and Vasquez's shots were easily saved, while Como showed their strength through Vojvoda, whose central strike was blocked by Leali. Towards the end, Como closed down with order and seemed to control the situation without taking any risks. In the 88th minute, Ramón came in late on Messias and was sent off, a decision confirmed by VAR. With the extra man, Genoa surged forward and found the equalizer in the 92nd minute. Norton-Cuffy's run was halted by Sergi Roberto's unfortunate deflection, which hit the post, and Ekuban he is the quickest to reiterate on the net.
