Cremonese advanced to the Coppa Italia Round of 16 with a 2-0 win away to Parma, scoring twice in the first half to take control of the tie. The visitors were the more dangerous side throughout, outshooting Parma 13-9 and creating five big chances to Parma's one.
Simone Lottici Tessadri opened the scoring after five minutes from Marco Nasti's assist, and Adin Licina doubled the lead in the 41st minute, Tommaso Berti providing the pass. Laurato Valenti and Adin Licina were both booked in the second half, but the result was already settled by then.
Cremonese's six shots on target and two big chances scored underlined their efficiency, while Parma's nine offsides showed their difficulty getting in behind. Possession was close — 51% to 49% — but Cremonese's 442 accurate passes to Parma's 406 hinted at their composure on the ball.
