In a tightly contested match at San Siro Stadium, US Cremonese secured a surprising 2-1 victory over AC Milan, largely due to their efficient utilization of attacking opportunities. Federico Baschirotto opened the scoring for Cremonese with a timely goal at the 28th minute, capitalizing on Alessio Zerbin's precise assist, demonstrating Cremonese's ability to strike decisively despite AC Milan's statistically superior attacking metrics. Despite having fewer shots on target, Cremonese's shot efficiency was on full display, converting their limited opportunities into crucial goals.

AC Milan, on the other hand, showcased dominant possession and attacking intent, highlighted by their 24-shot attempts, with only six hitting the target. An equalizer just before the halftime whistle, courtesy of Strahinja Pavlovic and assisted by Pervis Estupinan, allowed Milan to briefly regain momentum. Their nine corner kicks to Cremonese's two further underline their attacking mindset; however, inefficiency in shot conversion and a failure to capitalize on set pieces was a glaring weakness.

Despite AC Milan’s dominating performance in terms of shots and possession, it was Cremonese's disciplined defensive structure and effective counters that proved decisive. Cremonese committed 14 fouls, disrupting AC Milan's rhythm and drawing four yellow cards, an indication of their high-pressure defensive approach. Meanwhile, Milan's lone yellow card reflects their struggle to break Cremonese’s defense without resorting to tactical fouling. Ultimately, Giuseppe Pezzella's assist for Federico Bonazzoli's winning goal in the second half showcased Cremonese's keen ability to exploit defensive lapses in Milan’s backline to secure a vital victory.
