Cremonese loses Serie B opener to Empoli

Cremonese began their Serie B campaign with a 1-0 defeat against Empoli at the Carlo Castellani Computer Gross Arena. Despite maintaining significant ball possession, the team struggled to create decisive scoring opportunities. The match's only goal came in the 21st minute after a corner kick led to a rebound that was initially contested by VAR before being validated.

Cremonese gained a numerical advantage in the 59th minute when an Empoli player was sent off following a foul on Elia. However, they were unable to capitalize on the man advantage, missing key chances through Bonazzoli and others before the match concluded.
