In an intense Serie A matchup at Stadio Giovanni Zini, Fiorentina outclassed home team US Cremonese with a 2-0 victory. Despite being outperformed in shots on target by the home team - 5 shots in Cremonese's favor compared to Fiorentina's 3, the visitors shined brighter in terms of effectiveness, converting 2 of their 3 on target.

Rolando Mandragora was a standout player for Fiorentina, breaking the deadlock in the first half with a goal at 27 minutes and later contributing to Arthur Mendonca Cabral's insurance goal through an assist in the second half. Nanitamo Ikone also played his part, assisting Mandragora for the opener.

Cremonese's desperation to get back into the game might be indicated by their 11 shots off target, compared to Fiorentina's 7. They notably struggled in front of the goal, failing to convert in spite of their superior shot-on-target numbers.

Passing accuracy still appears to be a critical aspect of the game. While the home team had just one corner kick, Fiorentina maximized their opportunities, racking up 6 corner kicks. This demonstrated Fiorentina's superior ability to control and carry the ball into their opponent’s half, thus exerting more pressure on Cremonese's defense.

Disciplinary-wise, the tension escalated in the second half as seen from the issuance of three yellow cards. Fiorentina's players, Josip Brekalo and Rolando Mandragora, were cautioned, along with Cremonese's Alex Ferrari. Fiorentina recorded more fouls at 17 compared to Cremonese's 10, indicating a more aggressive style of play from the visitors.

The match was even in terms of offsides, with both teams being flagged 3 times each. This suggests both sides were pushing the limit with their attacking line trying to penetrate the defense.

Overall, despite Cremonese making more shots and winning less foul calls, they lacked efficiency and accuracy in their performance. Fiorentina, on the other hand, capitalized on their chances, displaying better match strategy, technical skills, and superb teamwork leading to their victory. Factors that had the most significant impact were the accuracy of shooting and assertiveness in exploiting corner kick opportunities from Fiorentina end.
