Summary clip of the day in sports, 11.9 (Sport1)
The Spanish media often deal with the big teams, but last night (Saturday) even Barcelona's quartet against Cadiz became the secondary story of the evening.
The heroes of the day were match referee Carlos del Cerro Grande and goalkeeper Cadiz Conan Ledesma, who saved a female fan who had a heart attack in the stands and was in danger of her life.
Both acted as quickly as possible to prevent a disaster, and thanks to them the woman was rushed to the hospital and her condition stabilized there.
The referee recognized the incident happening in real time and immediately ordered the game to be stopped, which allowed the medical teams on the scene to reach the woman quickly.
Goalkeeper Konan Ladesma became a hero after he was seen running the length of the field with a CPR, which he transferred to the stand where the female fan was.
As mentioned, the fan's condition has stabilized, and although she is still hospitalized in serious condition, it is clear that a death in the stands was avoided.
The Spanish media hailed Del Cerro Grande and Desma as heroes, and explained that "thanks to their quick response, a tragedy was avoided."
Resourcefulness and caring.

Even the players could not remain indifferent to the moments of anxiety.
Ansu Fati, who scored after the game resumed more than an hour later, dedicated the goal to the hospitalized Cádiz fan at the end.
After he scored, he made an apologetic gesture towards the stands.
"There are bigger things than football. I pray for the safety of the fan," Pati said.
Xavi, the coach of Barcelona, also commented on the unusual events at the end and said that "If we didn't know that the fan's condition had stabilized, we wouldn't have been able to return to the field. Cadiz coach Sergio Gonzalez said that "life is above everything.
I really hope she survives this.
Football is meant to give people pleasure, today we remembered how fragile life is."
