Coming into the contest still searching for their first league victory of the campaign, the hosts started positively with plenty of possession inside the Juventus half.
However, the Old Lady gradually grew into the match and came close to breaking the deadlock in a cagey opening half-hour, when Fabio Miretti curled a long-range strike narrowly over the bar.
The positive changes almost had an immediate effect, with Juventus twice coming close before the hour mark.
First, Miretti had a close-range effort palmed away by Carnesecchi, before Federico Gatti drilled a first-time strike wastefully wide of the target.
Despite the growing pressure from the visitors, Cremonese came agonisingly close to taking a shock lead with 20 minutes remaining, as Cyriel Dessers raced clear and struck the post with an angled effort.
This narrow escape gave Juventus renewed energy going into the final 10 minutes, and after Carnesecchi denied Kean with a remarkable point-blank save, Arkadiusz Milik stepped up to fire home a brilliant free-kick, breaking Cremonese hearts and resistance in the final minutes.
