In a highly anticipated Serie A encounter staged at the Stadio Giovanni Zini, Atalanta improved their lead over US Cremonese to emerge victorious with 3 goals as compared to 1 for US Cremonese. This was a match that was heavily guided by the strong offensive play by Atalanta and their successful exploitation of corner kicks, as suggested by the six they achieved throughout the game.

Atalanta had a sturdy start with Marten De Roon scoring the first goal a little over 40 minutes into the first half. While US Cremonese did manage to even out the scoreboard in the second half with a penalty goal scored by Daniel Ciofani, it seemed that this goal only fired up Atalanta further, culminating in two additional goals during the second half by Jeremie Boga and Ademola Lookman, assisted by Rasmus Hojlund and Ederson accordingly.

Though both teams achieved an equal number of hits on target (four apiece), US Cremonese did not manage to capitalize on their 11 shots off target, compared to Atalanta's 8 off-target shots. This resulted in only one goal for US Cremonese throughout the match. The high number of off-target shots also suggests missed opportunities for US Cremonese, denoting poor conversion of shot attempts into actual goals.

In regards to disciplinary issues, both teams exhibited a notable number of yellow cards – three for US Cremonese and two for Atalanta. US Cremonese goalkeeper Lochoshvili received the first caution during the initial 20 minutes, followed by two more yellow cards handed to Daniel Ciofani and Matteo Bianchetti in the second half. Atalanta managed to keep its caution count to two, with Mario Pasalic in the first half and Rafael Toloi in the second.

Looking at the numbers, it is quite evident that the lack of corner kicks from US Cremonese severely limited their options in terms of attacking opportunities. Atalanta, on the other hand, made excellent use of their six awarded corner kicks which, along with their constant pressure leading to three offsides, demonstrates their highly effective offensive strategy.

Another notable aspect of this energetic match was the fouls committed by both teams, with US Cremonese taking the lead with 13 fouls, compared to 10 from Atalanta. Good defensive plays coupled with a persistent offensive front from Atalanta created challenges for US Cremonese, breaking their discipline and leading to more fouls.

In terms of performance and teamwork, Atalanta showed superiority. Their successful goals, their utilization of corner kicks, along with their clinical passes leading to assists demonstrated an overall more comprehensive and coordinated approach to their game strategy in contrast to US Cremonese. The significant factor in Atalanta's victory seemed to be their effective conversion of shot attempts into goals, as well as their persistent pressure on US Cremonese prompting them to commit more fouls and card offenses, which, in turn, influenced the eventual outcome of the match.

In conclusion, for future encounters and betting considerations, an examination of team discipline, shot accuracy, and effectiveness at using set-pieces such as corner kicks seem imperative, as they predominantly featured in this match between Atalanta and US Cremonese.
