During the match between Gallos and Puebla last Sunday, a strong head collision occurred in the local team's area during the second half of the game. Querétaro's central defender Canale and Puebla's forward Gómez were involved in this incident. After the impact, Gómez fell to the ground in a disoriented state, which raised concern among players from both teams, who immediately called for help.
The players formed a circle around the injured players to prevent the cameras from capturing the scene. Meanwhile, the visiting forward began to convulse on the field, leading to the intervention of both teams' medical personnel and the Liga MX protocol to address the situation. During this tense moment, the Querétaro fans showed their support by enthusiastically applauding.
The concussion protocol was carried out efficiently, with the quick action of the stretcher and the paramedics. Additionally, the authority inspector closely supervised Gómez's transfer by ambulance to a hospital for observation. The next day, it was reported that the player was stable and returned to Puebla.
The commentator stated that in more than a decade of career, he had never experienced such a shocking situation on the radio. Incidents like this serve as a reminder of the importance of having an adequate medical response at any sporting event, as well as having clear preventive measures and quick access to professional medical assistance.
It was concluded that in amateur sports leagues, it is essential to have an available ambulance, covering the costs among the teams and organizers. Prevention and quick response to unexpected situations are key to ensuring the safety of everyone involved in a sporting event.
