Italian league title race took a back seat on Sunday after Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed on the field during a Serie A match. The game was abandoned, and Bove is now in a medically induced coma, though initial tests show no acute damage. Napoli maintained their lead in the league with a 1-0 win against Torino, while Lazio suffered a surprising 3-1 loss to Parma. Juventus managed a 1-1 draw with Lecce, and Patrick Vieira secured his first win as Genoa coach with a 2-0 victory against Udinese. The incident with Bove overshadowed the weekend’s Serie A action, with players and staff visibly shaken by the situation. Napoli’s Scott McTominay scored the lone goal in their match, helping them maintain a lead in the tight Serie A table. Atalanta, Inter, and Fiorentina all remain close behind Napoli in the standings. Lazio’s loss to Parma was a setback after their seven-game winning streak, while Juventus continues to struggle after dropping points against Lecce. The focus on the league title race was momentarily shifted to concerns for Bove’s health, with the football community coming together to support Fiorentina during this difficult time.
