No further details were known about the player’s condition and he was taken to Vila Franca Hospital after receiving field assistance. In the next stage, despite the ambulance leaving the field, the player was assisted on the field and left an hour after the incident for the hospital unit had already been properly established.
The meeting, which was going on in the 27th minute, was stopped for more than ten minutes and many players prayed on the field and were suspended. After the Brazilian was removed by ambulance all the elements formed a circle to pray. After that moment, the players all went to the dressing room. The game was broadcast on the club’s channel, and concern was noticed when Mitzfelder fell lifeless on the pitch.
