Fiorentina beat Watford 1-0 in a friendly at the Franchi with a superb 25-meter strike from Roberto Piccoli in the 38th minute. But the real protagonist of the evening was Edoardo Bove, returning as an opponent after his 2024 collapse, welcomed by his former teammates.
Bove, who left Fiorentina following the serious cardiac episode that struck him on the pitch, received a standing ovation from the Viola fans and warm greetings from his former teammates. An emotional moment for the entire stadium.
In the second half, concern for Brescianini, who left the pitch with a right ankle injury. His condition will be evaluated in the coming days.
