Inter Go Eight Clear With 2-0 Win at Cremonese as Firework Hits Goalkeeper

Police opened an inquiry into the firework incident with disciplinary sanctions expected.

Overview

  • Play was halted early in the second half after an explosive thrown from the away end detonated beside Cremonese goalkeeper Emil Audero, who received treatment for a small cut and continued.
  • The Associated Press reported Audero appeared to tell medical staff he could not hear from his right ear immediately after the blast.
  • Lautaro Martínez’s header was his 128th Serie A goal for Inter, tying Alessandro Altobelli for fourth on the club’s league list, and marked his 170th goal in all competitions for Inter.
  • Inter president Giuseppe Marotta condemned the act as a “stupid gesture” and said authorities were investigating, with media expecting fines and possible restrictions on away supporters.
  • Italian outlets reported that a suspected perpetrator sought hospital treatment for severe hand injuries and faces arrest and a stadium ban, a claim not yet confirmed by an official statement.
