🇮🇹 Two years on, Cremonese return to Serie A | OneFootball

After losing last year’s playoff final against Venezia, Cremonese managed to overcome Spezia and, in a packed Picco, achieved promotion to Serie A after two years.

A crazy match with Cremo ahead 3-0 until the 84th minute, when Spezia reopened the game in 60 seconds with goals from Pio Esposito and Luca Vignali. This is the third promotion from Serie B to Serie A for Giovanni Stroppa, who, after Crotone and Monza, achieves the hat-trick for the second time against D’Angelo.

On the other hand, it’s a tough blow for a Spezia side that, throughout the year, had even dreamed of direct promotion, fighting with Pisa and, for long stretches, hoping to put 15 points between themselves and the grigiorossi.

Mudo Vázquez the protagonist

After the 0-0 draw in the first leg, Spezia had two out of three, but Franco Vázquez made the difference. The “Mudo,” who had been suspended in recent months due to a ban following racist comments towards Dorval, provided the assist to De Luca and then scored twice in the second half.
