Barcelona match halted for fan emergency as keeper runs to stands with medical equipment

Barcelona's game against Cadiz was halted for around 30 minutes after a medical emergency in the stands.

The Catalan giants were 2-0 up before the match was stopped in the 81st minute, after a medical emergency was spotted inside the stadium. Cadiz goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma ran to fetch medical equipment before sprinting to, and throwing it, into the stands as both sets of players understood the serious nature of the situation.

Another Cadiz player, Jose Maria, could be seen helping a member of staff rush a stretcher through the stands to the area in need. Red Cross staff were also present as the fan was revived in the stands. According to reports, a fan had suffered a heart attack. The supporter recovered a pulse, was stabilised and taken to hospital in an ambulance.
