Como 1907 and Cremonese moved into a choppy final spell with bookings, a penalty incident and a long run of substitutions in the closing minutes of the Serie A match. The live log showed the game tightening from the 61st minute onward, with Jamie Vardy booked for Cremonese before the tempo shifted again.
Como turned to M. Caqueret at 64 minutes, replacing J. Rodríguez, and one minute later M. Bianchetti committed a penalty for Cremonese. Bianchetti was then shown a yellow card in the 71st minute, adding to a spell of discipline problems for the home side as the match began to unravel.
The pressure kept building. Jari Vandeputte was booked for Cremonese at 76 minutes, while Como made another change by sending on I. Van Der Brempt for Alberto Moreno. By the 83rd minute, both benches were active: Sergi Roberto, Á. Morata and M. Vojvoda entered for Como, while Tasos Douvikas, M. Baturina and Assane Diao came off. Cremonese also changed personnel, with T. Barbieri replacing F. Terracciano.
The final minutes brought still more turnover. Simone Lottici entered for Cremonese at 85 minutes and F. Bonazzoli went off, closing a passage of play defined less by sustained attacking patterns than by stoppages, caution and quick tactical adjustments. For Como, the late additions of Roberto, Morata and Vojvoda suggested a push to manage the endgame with fresh legs and experience.
The fragment from the match log does not give a scoreline, but it does show where the contest was decided in tone: inside a tight, physical finish, with Cremonese collecting bookings and Como repeatedly reshaping its side. In a game that had settled into a final-hour scramble, the next key detail is not another substitution. It is whether the penalty incident at 65 minutes changed the result that followed.
