The Sunday football match in the second league of Spain almost ended in tragedy - when the heart of "Salamanca" club's football player stopped, medics managed to pull him back from the brink of death.

Miguel Garcia took a few steps and lost consciousness during the 61st minute of the match against Sevilla's "Betis". While doctors rushed to revive the 31-year-old defender, some of his teammates were in tears.

It is true that Garcia's condition is stable after being taken to the hospital.

Let us remind that a few years ago, a similar incident occurred during a match, and after a few days in the hospital, "Sevilla" member Antonio Puerta passed away.
