Video: big scare as Chino Zelarayán faints during Belgrano match | OneFootball

The No. 10 of the newly crowned Apertura champion lost his balance in the middle of a play, fell onto the pitch at Madre de Ciudades, and was taken off the field on a cart.

Just after Gimnasia de Jujuy made it 2-1 in the match against Belgrano in the Copa Argentina round of 32, a huge scare was experienced by everyone at the Madre de Ciudades stadium in Santiago del Estero. While the Pirata had possession of the ball, its captain fainted.

Francisco González Metilli had the ball at his feet when Lucas Zelarayán fell to the ground without any apparent contact from an opponent. El Chino got up quickly and his teammate passed to Franco Vázquez, when once again the No. 10 crashed back onto the turf.

Dizzy and disoriented, El Chino fell for a third time and his teammate Nicolás Fernández realized what was happening. Uvita quickly asked referee Daniel Zamora to stop the match, and the doctors were called. “I’m fine,” El Chino said, and he was able to walk off the field. He was taken on a stretcher to the touchline and, distressed by the uncertainty, headed into the dressing room with head coach Ricardo Zielinski by his side. But fortunately, he later recovered, and it was only a scare.
