Bas Dost fell lifeless on the field during the Nijmegen match against AZ Alkmaar and gave the fans a huge fright. The ex-Sporting striker had already scored and assisted a goal when he lost consciousness towards the end of the match. As soon as he realized what had happened, the referee suspended the match and ordered the medical team in, with players from both teams surrounding their colleague as he was assisted.
The player showed signs of recovery as he left the field on a stretcher and the club reported that Bas Dost is conscious. “I immediately ran through the hallways towards the lawn. [Quando cheguei] The tarpaulin was already around him and no one knew how he was doing. Referee Jeroen Manschot indicated that he had given a sign of life and that Bas Dost had asked if we could tell his family that he was conscious. We were fortunate that the medical team arrived quickly.”, Wilco van Schaik revealed to the Dutch ESPN.
According to the manager, Bas Dost already sat down with his father, who was watching the match in the stadium and ran to the changing rooms: “I even wanted to talk to the players. It caused a lot of fuss. It was all very intense.” .”
The match was stopped at a time when Nijmegen won 2-1. However, the clubs have already announced that the meeting will not be resumed. “You can’t play anymore after a moment like that,” Wilco van Schaik explained.
However, Sporting has already wished the player, who represented the Lions from 2016 to 2019, the best of luck.
