In the 52nd minute, Luan Campos, the scorer in the first half, was involved in an aerial duel with Chică-Roşa, the striker of Ploiești. Following the collision, the Steel player was knocked unconscious on the field and collapsed, unresponsive.
Scared by what happened, the players immediately requested the intervention of the medical team. After several minutes of treatment on the field, the footballer was urgently transported to the hospital by ambulance.
At that moment, Oțelul was leading 3-1, after the success of Luan Campos in the 45th+2nd minute.
