Tijjani Noslin, Lazio's 26-year-old Dutch forward, scored in stoppage time on Tuesday to complete a 2-1 comeback victory against Cremonese at the Stadio Zini, turning a losing position into three points on matchday 35 of Serie A 2025-26.
The goal was the kind that changes the texture of a season. Cremonese, managed by Giampaolo, had taken the lead through Bonazzoli before Lazio's Henrik Isaksen levelled. Noslin then struck at the 90th minute to seal the win — a result that lifted Maurizio Sarri's side to 51 points from 35 matches, a record built on 13 wins, 12 draws, and 10 defeats.
The timing matters for Noslin personally. He has now scored three goals across 25 Serie A appearances this season, a modest return that has kept his average rating at 6.70 — functional, but not yet the kind of output that marks a forward as indispensable. His AI overall score of 68 out of 100 suggests the ceiling is there; the question has been whether he can reach it consistently. A goal that wins a match in the final minute of away football is not a statistical footnote — it is the sort of contribution that shifts how a coach reads a squad list.
Lazio sit eighth with one round of fixtures still to play, and the calendar ahead sharpens the stakes. Inter, fresh from winning the scudetto, are next on the biancocelesti's schedule — a fixture that will test the depth of Sarri's squad rather than reward individual moments of late heroism. For Noslin, the Cremona goal is a reminder of what he can offer; the Inter match will ask whether he can offer it when the margin for error is even smaller.
