Audero the Unbreakable Wall _ Top Moment _ Verona-Cremonese _ Serie A 2025_26
Janketi went down in a heap there.
We play on. Bernet, Serdar, Giovani in space.
Giovani's in here. Good goalkeeping from Aldero.
Paolo Zanetti can't believe Verona haven't taken the lead.
Cremonese are wondering why there was no whistle.
And Aldero made himself very big.
Giovani would have been better served trying to dink it over the goalkeeper, I think.
This was the challenge coming in from Giovani on Janketi.
Heavy blow to the ankle.
I think that would have been sanctioned as a free kick had the ball gone in.
I'm sure it would have been overturned as a foul.
In the ATP, the attacking possession phase.
By the way, Aldero did what he's paid to do.
Verona happy to allow Cremonese possession here.
Go any further, that's when the press is triggered.
Long by Aldero.
Sanabria linking up with Petsella.
Serdar's won it back.
Orban trying to get back onside. He's managed it.
Gift Orban in the clear.
And Aldero makes the save.
Orban can't believe he hasn't scored.
In the end, it's Janketi playing him onside.
A couple of touches away from Baschirotto.
Just wonder whether he could have lifted it.
A stake from Petsella initially.
Easy ball for Serdar to slip through.
Orban just needed a bit more power.
Heading towards half-time.
This set up nicely for the introduction of Vardy in the second half.
Petsella.
Van der Putte running beyond him.
Easy for Unai Nunez.
Orban.
Linking up with Giovani.
Good spot from him.
Braderich is away here.
Braderich!
And Terracciano will clear it off the line.
Aldero took the sting out of the shot.
And if they don't win tonight, Verona,
they'll be beset with regrets.
Because they've had plenty of openings.
And Braderich is someone who knows where the goal is.
He scored.
In their cup tie against Aldace Cerignola.
Got his first goal in Italian football on the final day of last season.
That crucial win at Empoli that kept Verona up.
And as soon as Giovani received the ball,
he knew exactly where to play it.
Either he'd heard the shout,
or with his peripheral vision,
he'd seen Braderich bombing forward.
Lovely driven ball.
Got it out of his feet.
Aldero, again, you have to say,
made himself big.
Celebrating the save like
Brian Buffon.
And that's why it's great to see Aldero playing
with continuity again.
Zerbin.
With the early cross.
Easy for Montipo.
Braderich is after this.
Baschirotto's missed it.
Braderich.
The good thing about Federico Baschirotto is
he is error-prone,
but he normally atones pretty quickly.
Giovani.
Still going here.
Giovani.
What a run from him!
And pushed away by Aldero.
Had several opportunities there to shoot.
Giovani eventually unleashed it.
And Aldero pushed it into a dangerous area.
How many drop of the shoulders were there here?
Could have hit it there as well.
Eventually did strike it.
Credit to the Cremonese defenders for following up.
Lest we forget,
Dele Alli sent off at San Siro against Milan.
Nice touch there by Vardy.
Sanabria's lost the ball.
Braderich over the top.
Giovani.
Orban takes over.
Gift.
Orban!
Another Aldero save.
How many is that?
Bernet.
Can he pick a pass?
Serdar.
Aldero has barely put a foot wrong tonight.
Really good reflexes.
Giovani this time just controlling it for Orban.
And it's his turn to fire the ball through the crowd.
Short back-lift.
Maximum impact.
Petzella.
Can he win a corner?
Petzella.
Belcali gets it clear.
Baschirotto.
Terracciano.
He's lost the ball.
That's a fair challenge.
Baschirotto running after Sarr.
Amin Sarr.
Can he win it?
This is Giovani.
Again, Aldero's made the save.
Firona really should have taken the points there.
Sarr had the chance
to kill off the game.
Terracciano wanted too long.
Terrific challenge from Niasse.
Sarr got away from Baschirotto.
Saviour would expect Aldero to make him for once.
Giovani couldn't control on the follow-up.
