The event paralyzed the spectators and alarmed the footballers, several of whom took their heads. The first to realize what happened and help the assistant was the Canadian goalkeeper, Maxime Crepeauwho quickly ran from his area and desperately called for help.
Medical assistance arrived immediately. Minutes later, Panjoj stood up and brought some peace of mind. However, he continued to be dizzy so they put him on a stretcher and took him off the field. Logically, the assistant had to be replaced in the second half.
It should be noted that the match, corresponding to the second day of group A of the continental competition, is taking place with a thermal sensation that is around 35 degrees in the area. Due to the oppressive heat, the main referee, Mario Escobar, stopped the game midway through the first stage so that the protagonists could hydrate.
