Match Report
Cremonese dismantled a ten-then-nine-man Pisa side 3-0 at the Stadio Giovanni Zini, delivering a statement win in their Serie A survival fight.
Jamie Vardy opened the scoring on 31 minutes with a sharp diagonal finish. Pisa had already been reduced to ten when Rosen Bozhinov saw a second yellow on 23 minutes for a foul on Bonazzoli. Federico Bonazzoli then turned provider into scorer, doubling the lead six minutes after half-time with a deft outside-of-the-boot finish from Vandeputte's pass. Felipe Loyola made it nine men for Pisa on 57 minutes — a dangerous challenge on Pezzella — and David Okereke rounded things off in the 86th.
The result is academic for already-relegated Pisa, but transformative for Cremonese, who move to within one point of Lecce with two matches remaining.
