Inter Match Halted Due to Fan’s Medical Emergency at San Siro
Inter Milan's Coppa Italia clash against Udinese was paused in the 42nd minute due to a medical emergency involving a fan, but the match resumed after the fan's condition stabilized.
Inter Milan's match against Udinese in the Coppa Italia was briefly halted after a fan suffered a medical emergency in the stands at San Siro. The incident occurred in the 42nd minute when Inter was leading 1-0 thanks to a goal from Marko Arnautovic, assisted by Mehdi Taremi.
During a corner kick, Lautaro Martinez, observing the situation from the bench, alerted the fourth official to a commotion in the stands. Emergency medical staff quickly attended to the fan, suspected of having a heart attack. Players and spectators anxiously awaited updates as medical personnel worked to stabilize the individual's condition.
After approximately six minutes, positive news emerged from the stands, and the match resumed to applause from the crowd. Inter capitalized on the momentum, scoring from the subsequent corner via an effort from Kristjan Asllani.
This incident evoked memories of previous health emergencies in football, such as the cardiac event involving Fiorentina’s Eduardo Bove, which led to a match cancellation earlier this season.
