Nijmegen striker Bas Dost collapsed during the match this Sunday in Alkmaar.

In the last minute of regulation time, the Dutch striker, credited today with an achievement and an assist, lay down on the pitch, quickly falling into convulsion.

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.
