After the handball Bundesliga match between Bergisches HC and HSG Wetzlar was abandoned on Saturday evening, there is still no information on the health of a spectator.
The encounter in Wuppertal was interrupted in the 52nd minute because a fan needed emergency medical care.
The club's managing directors and coaches, as well as the referees and game management, then agreed in the dressing room not to continue the game, as HSG Wetzlar announced.
Wuppertal - At the time of the cancellation, the guests from Wetzlar were leading 21:19.
How the game will be rated was also still open.
"Help was on site in a very short time, including a cardiologist and I as a general practitioner," said BHC team doctor Oliver Riemann of the "Westdeutsche Zeitung" about the course of the assistance, which went according to plan and without delay.
The crew in the cabin was deeply affected, he added.
Accordingly, the affected man was brought to the heart center Arrenberg by ambulance after 30 minutes.
At this point, the resuscitation had succeeded, it was said.
