Juventus delivered a statement performance at home, dismantling Cremonese 5-0 in a dominant Serie A display that never allowed the visitors a foothold in the contest.
The Bianconeri set the tone early, with Bremer breaking the deadlock in the 12th minute before Jonathan David doubled the advantage just three minutes later. The hosts were rampant, controlling 58.3% of possession and peppering Emil Audero’s goal with 18 shots.
Cremonese thought they had a lifeline in the 26th minute when Dennis Johnsen won a penalty, but VAR intervened to cancel the spot-kick, keeping Juventus firmly in control. Kenan Yıldız extended the lead to 3-0 in the 35th minute, capping a first-half masterclass from the Turin giants.
The second half began with unexpected drama as Filippo Terracciano’s own goal made it 4-0 in the 48th minute. Despite Cremonese manager shuffling his pack with five substitutions—including the introduction of Jamie Vardy—the visitors couldn’t stem the tide. Audero performed admirably with six saves, but the onslaught proved relentless.
Weston McKennie completed the rout in the 64th minute, capping an impressive individual display that earned him an 8.2 rating alongside his goal and two interceptions. The American midfielder epitomized Juventus’ complete performance across all areas of the pitch.
Michele Di Gregorio enjoyed a comfortable evening between the posts, earning an 8.3 rating despite making just two saves as Cremonese managed only two shots on target from nine attempts. The visitors’ defensive discipline, reflected in 11 interceptions from Alberto Grassi and his teammates, prevented an even heavier defeat.
With 11 shots on target and a 90% pass completion rate, Juventus’ clinical efficiency proved the difference. The victory sends an ominous message to Serie A rivals as the Bianconeri continue their campaign in imperious form.
