Inter Go Eight Points Clear at Cremonese as Firework Blast Near Goalkeeper Triggers Investigations

Authorities are probing the incident that left Emil Audero with minor injuries during Inter’s win after local reports said a suspect was identified at a hospital.

Overview

  • Inter beat Cremonese 2-0 with first‑half goals from Lautaro Martínez and Piotr Zieliński to extend their Serie A lead to eight points.
  • A firework thrown from the away section exploded next to goalkeeper Emil Audero early in the second half, causing a brief stoppage as he received treatment for a cut and burn.
  • Audero later said he trained the next day and felt relieved it was not worse, noting ear pain and a burning sensation in his knee in a video message.
  • Inter president Beppe Marotta condemned the act and Lautaro Martínez apologized to Audero, as players and staff moved to calm the visiting end.
  • Italian media report the alleged thrower injured his hand and was identified after seeking hospital care, with potential arrests and league sanctions for Inter pending official findings.
