It was surreal what happened during the Turkey-Croatia U21 match. The game had to be suspended for a few minutes.

The match is hugely important for both national teams because they are first and second in their EURO U21 qualifying group. The Turks came into the match as leaders with 11 points and one more game played, while the Croatians had 10 points and one game in hand.

In the 36th minute, Demir Ege Tiknaz, a Turkey player who plays for Braga, committed a foul on Croatia’s Fabijan Krivak, and it earned him a second yellow card and a sending-off.

Then Turkey coach Egemen Korkmaz protested the decision and, while doing so, slipped, hit his head on the ground, and lost consciousness.

According to Turkish media, the coach had to be taken by ambulance to hospital, where he regained consciousness, and in the meantime the match was suspended, with the players waiting in the dressing rooms for news.

A few minutes later, the match was resumed.
