CREMONA - A bitter draw for US Cremonese, held to a stalemate by the visit of Virtus Entella. The match ended 0-0 despite the grey-and-reds having 54% possession and firing 11 shots at Del Frate's goal.
The efforts of Bonazzoli and his teammates were not enough to break down the low block organised by Chiappella. The visiting side actually created more danger on the counter, racking up 17 shots. Goalkeeper Agazzi had to make four decisive saves to keep a clean sheet.
Fabio Pecchia lined up in a 4-3-3 with Bonazzoli, Berti and Ličina up front. The manager was booked for dissent in the 36th minute, a sign of the tension on the bench. He was forced into an early change in the 18th minute, replacing the injured Pontisso with Grassi. On 58 minutes he tried a double substitution, bringing on Nasti and Collocolo for Ličina and Thorsby.
The result leaves Cremonese in 15th place in the standings, with just 4 points from 5 matches. Federico Bonazzoli, the team's top scorer with 3 goals in 4 appearances, could not find the net on this occasion. The team now looks ahead to the next away fixture against Arezzo, scheduled for October 10th. The full schedule can be found on the fixtures page.
The defence held firm, with Baschirotto and Bianchetti solid in the middle, but the attack again showed too much sterility. To review the team's complete statistics and seasonal scorers, you can visit the stats page.
