Inter Go Eight Points Clear at Cremonese as Flare Near Goalkeeper Mars Win

The league leader holds an eight-point cushion following a flare incident next to Emil Audero that is set to draw disciplinary review.

Overview

  • Lautaro Martínez and Piotr Zielinski scored in the first half to seal Inter’s 2-0 victory and move them to 55 points, eight ahead of AC Milan with a game in hand.
  • The match was briefly halted early in the second half after a firework from the away section exploded beside Cremonese goalkeeper Emil Audero, who was treated for a cut and continued.
  • Inter players and coach Cristian Chivu approached the traveling supporters to urge them to stop throwing objects before play resumed.
  • Inter executives publicly condemned the act, and authorities are investigating, with potential sanctions and limitations on away fans under consideration by league officials.
