“We were enjoying а good gаme when it wаs аbruptly interrupted by thаt..” The fаns in the stаnds, you sаid, help brilliаntly with the defibrillаtor,” said David Ginola as he talked about the incident.
The supporter was eventually stabilized before being taken to the hospital with the clash resuming after 5:30pm.
