Concern about the spread of the coronavirus has led to cautionary measures to be taken in Italy's Serie A.

The league was forced to suspend play on Monday after the Italian government halted all sports in the country due to the coronavirus outbreak. Italy has already been hit hard by the virus, with more than 7,300 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 366 deaths as of Monday.

In what wound up being one of the final sporting events in Italy before the halt of play, Sassuolo forward Francesco Caputo sent fans watching at home a message of hope through the television.

In front of a home stadium that was already empty due to the virus, Caputo scored the opening goal of the match just before halftime, putting Sassuolo ahead of Brescia.

After finding the back of the net, Caputo ran towards the camera and held up a sign that read, "Everything will be fine. Stay safe at home."

Sporting events have been suspended until the first week of April, but whenever Sassuolo is back in action, fans will be ready to show their appreciation for Caputo.
