Three points from Cremona, delivered in the final minute. Tijjani Noslin, Lazio's Dutch forward, scored the decisive goal in stoppage time as the biancocelesti completed a 2-1 comeback victory against Cremonese at the Stadio Zini, turning a deficit into a result that consolidates their position in eighth place on 51 points.
The goal matters because it arrived precisely when Lazio's season needed it most. Maurizio Sarri's side have been a study in inconsistency โ 13 wins, 12 draws, and 10 defeats across 35 matches tells the story of a team that rarely loses the thread entirely but too often fails to pull it taut. A late winner against a Cremonese side fighting for survival carries a different weight than a routine three points; it signals that Lazio can find solutions when the game has turned against them.
Cremonese had led through Federico Bonazzoli before Gustav Isaksen levelled for the visitors. Noslin then settled the contest in the 92nd minute, completing the turnaround. For Noslin, the goal was his third of the Serie A season across 25 appearances โ a modest return in volume, but the timing of this one amplifies its significance. A forward who scores in the 92nd minute to win a match away from home is doing something that statistics alone cannot fully capture.
The broader context around Lazio is complicated. Sarri has publicly cast doubt over his own future at the club, stating that his continuation is not his decision to make. That uncertainty hangs over every result, including this one. A victory authored in part by Noslin does not resolve the question of who coaches Lazio next season, but it does demonstrate that the squad retains competitive instinct regardless of what is happening in the background.
Noslin's AI rating of 68 out of 100 suggests a player still developing toward his potential of 75. His average match rating of 6.70 this season reflects steady rather than spectacular contribution โ until Sunday, when the contribution was exactly what the moment demanded.
With the season entering its final stretch, Noslin's late intervention keeps Lazio's options open.
