The referee and the first players to intervene alongside him, devastated, urged the doctors to take over the field, before forming a human screen to protect the scene from prying eyes.
After 10 minutes of intense emergency efforts, the former Wolfsburg, Sporting and Frankfurt player was able to be resuscitated and evacuated, report various Batavian sources.
