In this evenly scored match up of Serie A teams, Bologna and US Cremonese, held at Renato Dall'Ara, both teams exhibited resilience and fighting spirit, securing a point each with their 1-1 result.

Beginning with the performance of each team's attacking front, it's striking that the Bologna side showed more offensive prowess, demonstrated by their total of 21 shots compared to Cremonese's nine. Out of Bologna’s 21 shots, eight were on target, making up nearly 40% accuracy, while Cremonese had a less impressive record with just two shots on target out of nine, a rough accuracy of 22%.

Further investigating their attacking performance, Bologna earned four corner kicks, indicating their repeated attempts to infiltrate Cremonese’s defense. Cremonese needed to compensate with just one corner kick for this head-to-head. Both of these statistics underscore Bologna's more aggressive stance in the contest.

However, both teams' goals came from unexpected circumstances. Cremonese, despite their limited offensive actions, capitalised on a penalty awarded in the second half, expertly executed by David Okereke. Bologna, on the other hand, was gifted an own goal by Cremonese’s Vlad Chiriches, which leveled the score.

The match was marred with fouls and disciplinary actions. Even though Bologna outnumbered Cremonese in shots and corner kicks, they committed fewer fouls, 11 compared to Cremonese’s 13. As for yellow cards, Cremonese earned a concerning five, while Bologna had two. Special note should be made of Chiriches, who had an unfortunate game earning a yellow and scoring an own goal.

Further, Bologna showed a high rate of offside, being flagged for the offense three times compared with Cremonese’s one. This suggests that while Bologna seemed dominantly offensive, they may have struggled with timing their runs or keeping in line with the Cremonese’s defensive plays.

In conclusion, while both teams showed substantial performance level, Bologna’s attacking prowess and disciplined game play was somewhat undermined by their inability to convert more chances into goals. Cremonese’s tactical defensive play and capitalisation on their opportunity from the penalty spot served them well. However, moving forward, Cremonese may need to address their disciplinary concerns, evident from the number of yellow cards incurred.
