Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão suffered a severe blow to the head during the match between Atlético-MG and Santos, this Sunday, at Arena MRV, in the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, and had to leave the field by ambulance.

Brazão was hit on the head in a clash with Igor Gomes. The Atlético-MG player tried to jump over the Santos goalkeeper but ended up hitting him with a knee.

Brazão received medical attention, and it quickly became noticeable that a bump was forming on his forehead. The goalkeeper, however, chose to continue in the game, protecting the area with a swimming cap.

Minutes later, Gabriel Brazão was unable to continue in the match, going to the ground again. The goalkeeper again showed signs of unconsciousness and was assisted by the ambulance to leave Atlético-MG's stadium.

Diógenes was chosen to replace Gabriel Brazão in the match. Santos was already losing 1-0 and had lost Zé Ivaldo, who was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Hulk.
