It is a very big fright that crossed the Robert-Diochon stadium in Quevilly this afternoon. While QRM faces this Saturday the Girondins de Bordeaux on behalf of the 35th matchday of Ligue 2, the match had to be interrupted in the first half.
Half an hour into the game, a young ball collector collapsed along the touchline. Emergency services quickly intervened with the young man, and players from both teams formed a circle around them.

Six minutes later, the ball catcher, again conscious, was evacuated on a stretcher to the applause of the audience. According to information from BeIN Sports, he seems to have been affected by a vagal malaise.
"We wish him to recover quickly," responded the club of Girondins on its official Twitter account.

The match was then able to resume normally, while the score was still tied and blank at the time of the interruption.
While they will only have three Ligue 2 games left to play after this meeting, Bordeaux have the opportunity to make a great operation in the standings if they win against QRM. If they win, they will provisionally take a six-point lead over third-placed Metz.
