Vardy's Goal Keeps Cremonese's Survival Hopes Alive
- May 18, 2026 | 00:30
Cremonese maintained their survival hopes in Serie A with a 1-0 victory over Udinese in the second-to-last 37th round of the season. The only goal of the match was scored by veteran Jamie Vardy, who found the back of the net in the 9th minute. This win could have been more significant had Lecce not scored late in their match against Sassuolo, keeping the fight for survival intense.
The early goal for Cremonese came when Udinese lost possession in their own half. Federico Bonazzoli delivered a dangerous cross from the edge of the penalty area, which Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okereafor managed to parry. However, he could do nothing about Vardy's follow-up shot, sealing the 0-1 victory for the visitors.
Cremonese remains in the relegation zone going into the final round of the season and will face the tough challenge of securing a vital win against Como, a team fighting for a place in the Champions League. Udinese, on the other hand, sits comfortably in 10th place with 50 points.
