Cyriel Dessers scored an extremely important goal on Friday evening during Cremonese’s victory over Empoli: 1-0. The 28-year-old attacker was responsible for the only goal of the game after just four minutes. As a result, Cremonese recorded a victory for the second weekend in a row, after the previous win against Sampdoria (2-3) last week. However, the deficit at number seventeen Spezia, which is just above the relegation line, is still seven points.

Particularities:
Just like last week, Dessers was allowed to start as a striker in Genoa. At Empoli, Tyronne Ebuehi from Haarlem was placed in the starting eleven in the right back position. Dessers and Ebuehi are normally teammates with the Nigerian national team. The former crowd favorite of Feyenoord quickly managed to score the only goal of the match. Dessers received a great cross pass from Leonardo Sernicola with his chest, after which he managed to put the ball between the legs of Empoli goalkeeper Samuele Perisan into the goal: 1-0. Spezia will play an away game at Lazio on Friday evening.
