Emil Audero Shines, Cremonese's Last Fortress That Frustrates Bologna

Cremonese secured three points from Bologna's home ground in the 13th week of Serie A on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, early morning WIB. Emil Audero's brilliant performance was the highlight of this match. 

The Indonesian national team goalkeeper performed exceptionally in the 3-1 victory at Stadion Renato Dall’Ara. He thwarted chance after chance for Bologna and maintained the momentum for the visiting team's win.

Audero and Jamie Vardy were the pillars of Cremonese's success in this match. Vardy scored two goals, while Audero stood firm under the crossbar, frustrating Bologna's players.

Cremonese took the lead in the 31st minute through Martin Payero. Four minutes later, a Bologna defender's error in anticipating a long pass proved disastrous. The poorly cleared ball was seized by Federico Bonazzoli, who sent a precise pass to Jamie Vardy. 

The English striker finished the chance perfectly past goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia.

Bologna reduced the deficit through Riccardo Orsolini's penalty in first-half stoppage time. Audero read the direction of Orsolini's powerful shot but couldn't reach it.

Early in the second half, Cremonese extended their lead. Just five minutes in, Vardy scored his second goal with a close-range flick, making it 3-1.

After falling two goals behind, Bologna became more aggressive. However, Audero's composure rendered all their pressure futile. 

He made three crucial saves in the second half, including his finest moment when he denied Santiago Castro's close-range flick using only his foot. In total, Audero made seven saves throughout the match.

This victory lifted Cremonese to 11th place in the standings with 17 points. Bologna, conversely, failed to close in on the top zone and remains stuck in sixth place.
