Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Lazio 0-0 Cremonese in the Serie A on Saturday, 20 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Lazio and Cremonese played out a goalless draw, finishing 0-0 in Serie A. The first half saw both sides struggle to create clear chances, with Lazio holding more possession but failing to break down Cremonese’s defence, as yellow cards to Pedro in the 38th minute and Alberto Grassi in the 43rd disrupted the flow. Coming off a mixed run including a win over Parma and a draw with Bologna, Lazio looked to build momentum but couldn’t find a way through before the break.
The second half brought more intensity, with substitutions around the hour mark as Reda Belahyane replaced Matías Vecino for Lazio in the 63rd minute, followed by Tijjani Noslin coming on for Pedro a minute later. Cremonese made changes too, with Jari Vandeputte and Federico Ceccherini entering in the 69th minute, but a flurry of yellow cards—including to Alessio Romagnoli in the 77th and Mattéo Guendouzi in the 79th—kept the game tense, culminating in Federico Ceccherini’s red card in the 90+4th minute. Cremonese, who had won two of their last five including against Lecce and Bologna, defended resolutely to earn a point, while Lazio’s recent home win over Lecce couldn’t translate into goals here.
Lazio edged possession at 57% to Cremonese’s 43%, suggesting they controlled the game’s tempo, but their three corners compared to none for the visitors highlighted a lack of cutting edge in attack. Successful dribbles favoured Lazio heavily at 71 against 50, pointing to more individual flair from the hosts, yet this didn’t yield goals amid a scrappy encounter marked by seven yellow cards in total—four for Lazio and three for Cremonese—plus one red for the away side late on.
Substitutions saw Lazio make three changes, with Reda Belahyane replacing Matías Vecino at 63 minutes, Tijjani Noslin coming on for Pedro at 64 minutes, and Manuel Lazzari taking over from Luca Pellegrini at 82 minutes, while Cremonese used all five, including double switches at 69 and 76 minutes to freshen up their lineup. No penalties, assists, or injury-time goals were recorded, underlining a match defined by caution rather than creativity.
The match remained goalless throughout, with early yellow cards setting a cautious tone—Pedro booked for Lazio in the 38th minute and Alberto Grassi for Cremonese in the 43rd. Substitutions shifted the dynamics in the second half, as Lazio brought on Reda Belahyane for Matías Vecino at 63 minutes and Tijjani Noslin for Pedro at 64 minutes, while Cremonese responded with Jari Vandeputte replacing Alberto Grassi and Federico Ceccherini coming on for Francesco Folino, both at 69 minutes.
Discipline became a factor late on, with yellow cards to Tommaso Barbieri at 68 minutes, Alessio Romagnoli at 77 minutes, Mattéo Guendouzi at 79 minutes, Giuseppe Pezzella at 81 minutes, and Mario Gila at 90+2 minutes, before Federico Ceccherini’s red card in the 90+4th minute left Cremonese a man down in the dying seconds. Further changes included Antonio Sanabria for Federico Bonazzoli and Alessio Zerbin for Dennis Johnsen at 76 minutes for Cremonese, plus Romano Floriani Mussolini replacing Tommaso Barbieri at 88 minutes, but none unlocked the deadlock.
Lazio lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, relying on midfield control from players like Matías Vecino and Mattéo Guendouzi, with Pedro offering width before his substitution. Alessio Romagnoli anchored the defence alongside Mario Gila, while Luca Pellegrini provided overlap on the left until Manuel Lazzari took over late on. Tijjani Noslin and Reda Belahyane added fresh legs in the second half to push for a breakthrough.
Cremonese set up in a 3-5-2 shape, focusing on a solid backline featuring Francesco Folino before Federico Ceccherini replaced him, with Tommaso Barbieri and Giuseppe Pezzella contributing from the wings. Alberto Grassi held the midfield until Jari Vandeputte came on, while forwards Federico Bonazzoli and Dennis Johnsen made way for Antonio Sanabria and Alessio Zerbin in the latter stages. Romano Floriani Mussolini provided a late option after substituting for Tommaso Barbieri.
Adam Marusic earned Bwin’s Man of the Match award for Lazio, standing out with his defensive solidity and composure on the ball despite the goalless outcome. He contributed one key pass without creating big chances or recording goals and assists, but his overall presence helped maintain Lazio’s structure in a tightly contested draw.
