Anguish suddenly took over everyone present at the Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium.
27 minutes into the match, when Estudiantes and Boca were tied goalless, Javier Altamirano collapsed on the playing field and began to convulse.
All the players instantly realized what was happening and the doctors from both clubs came to help him.
Two minutes later he was taken by ambulance.
Finally, it was decided to suspend the match.
When the first information about the footballer's condition arrived, Estudiantes coach Eduardo Domínguez spoke about the situation.
"Now we have a small urgent report and a little bit they are telling us that inside the locker room there was another situation in the ambulance. It seems to me that life comes before a sport, in any situation we talk about it on a daily basis with the players who There are many things more important than a soccer match or our job than health or family and when these situations happen we have to set the example that we want to give every day so it is very difficult, let's say it was an entrance to the locker room and boys crying because Javi is very dear, very dear, his wife is pregnant, he was here in the audience, all desperate to look for her and for her to be with him, the truth is, the family of students moved very quickly, Javi is here in front of the lady, she is already with him, but it is still about sensations that it was our turn, it was someone else's turn and we have to solarize ourselves because unfortunately," the DT started
"Sometimes everything is so frivolous and we don't look at the anguish that happens behind us or everything that it entails, no, but hey, we know that they are going to adjust our schedule, but that ends up being secondary, not today we are waiting to see what It really stabilizes that he is well and from there we will see a little peace of mind in this urgent diagnosis, Eduardo Ceba and Diego listening to you, up Eduardo," Domínguez continued.
