US Cremonese vs. AC Milan (08.11.2022)

In a closely contested Serie A match on November 8, 2022, US Cremonese faced off against Italian giants AC Milan. Although the game had no shortage of drama, with several cards being issued and substitutions made, it was notably devoid of goals.

The second half saw the majority of the action starting in the 47th minute when Paolo Ghiglione of Cremonese received the first yellow card of the match. Tension escalated further when AC Milan thought they had broken the deadlock through Divock Origi in the 57th minute, but celebrations were cut short as Origi's goal was cancelled.

Both teams made strategic changes shortly after, with Divock Origi making way for a substitute in the 59th minute alongside M. Thiaw in the 60th minute for AC Milan. Cremonese responded with their own set of substitutions, beginning in the 62nd minute with Ghiglione stepping out, followed by double substitutions in the 63rd minute bringing D. Ciofani and F. Afena-Gyan into the fray, and finally, M. Castagnetti entering the game in the 70th minute.

The referees continued to stay busy, with Johan Vásquez of Cremonese being cautioned with a yellow card in the 67th minute. Brahim Díaz took to the pitch as AC Milan's third substitution in the 74th minute, as the Milan side sought to shift the momentum of the game.

The match's intensity did not wane, leading to Rafael Leão of AC Milan receiving a yellow card in the 78th minute. The concluding minutes of the match saw a flurry of substitutions from both teams and disciplinary cautions, with S. Tonali and A. Rebić coming on as the fourth and fifth substitutes for AC Milan in the 83rd minute.

Cremonese’s Emanuele Valeri was booked with a yellow card in the 85th minute, and just two minutes later, both teams experienced more bookings. Marko Lazetić for AC Milan and Soualiho Meïté for Cremonese were both shown yellow cards. In the 88th minute, Valeri was then substituted out, in Cremonese's final change.

The match concluded with Charles De Ketelaere of AC Milan receiving a yellow card in the third minute of stoppage time. Despite chances and tactical adjustments from both sides, neither team could find the back of the net, and the match ended much as it began – without a clear victor, but full of competitive edge that saw players pushing the limits of the game's regulations.
