Fiorentina Secures Eighth Straight Serie A Win

Fiorentina secured a 1-0 victory over Cagliari, marking their eighth consecutive win in Serie A, a feat not achieved since 1960. The match held significant emotional weight as it was their first since midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed last week and was hospitalized. Danilo Cataldi scored the decisive goal in the 24th minute, dedicating it to Bove, who is currently recovering in Florence's Careggi hospital. Fiorentina now sits fourth in the league, just three points behind leaders Atalanta, and level on points with Inter Milan. Concerns about Bove's future have arisen, particularly regarding reports of a potential defibrillator fitting that might complicate his career in Italy, prompting calls for privacy and respect from his teammates. Coach Raffaele Palladino expressed hope for Bove's return to the pitch soon, emphasizing the team's support for their injured comrade.
