Lazio come from behind to beat Cremonese 2–1
Lazio overturned a deficit to beat hosts Cremonese 2–1 on Monday in the 35th matchday of the Italian Serie A, lifting their tally to 51 points in eighth place, four points behind Atalanta in seventh and 11 points off the European‑spot places for next season. Their only realistic route to continental football now is to win the Coppa Italia, where they meet Inter Milan in the final on 13 May.
Match narrative
Cremonese struck first in the 29th minute through Federico Bonazzoli. Lazio equalised in the 53rd minute with a goal from Joakim Isaksson, and then completed the comeback when Tiago Nascimento scored in the second minute of second‑half stoppage time.
Relegation context
Cremonese’s points remained stuck at 28 in 18th place, the first position in the relegation zone, four points behind Lecce (17th) and on the brink of the drop, with relegated sides Pisa and Hellas Verona already confirmed.
Lazio’s late win keeps their European ambitions alive domestically, at least in the cup, while Cremonese face a tense final‑round battle to avoid joining the newly relegated clubs.
