The third division game between FC Cordoba and Racing de Ferrol on Saturday was overshadowed by a serious incident – and had to be stopped after just eleven minutes when the score was 1-1.

What happened?

Cordoba professional Dragisa Gudelj (25) suddenly collapsed on the pitch. According to the Spanish sports daily “Marca”, Gudelj had suffered a cardiac arrest. Paramedics rushed in, an ambulance rushed onto the pitch. The fans in the stadium were shocked.

The scene is said to have been reminiscent of the heart drama about Denmark star Christian Eriksen (31), which kept the football world in suspense at the last European Championship.

The good news: Gudelj was resuscitated by medical staff on the pitch. Conscious, the brother of Serbian international Nemanja Gudelj (31) was transported to the ambulance on a stretcher.

Completely crazy: Gudelj suddenly wanted to continue playing despite his cardiac arrest shortly before! He sat up and even had wild discussions with the supervisors from the stretcher.

Ultimately, however, Gudelj was persuaded to be taken to the local Reina Sofia hospital for observation. Cordoba later let his fans know that he is in stable condition. The club also thanked the medical team that saved Gudelj.

The game was stopped by the referee after the dramatic incident.

Serb Gudelj has been playing in Spain since 2020 and moved to Cordoba from Cadiz last year. There, the 25-year-old is a regular in central defense with 24 appearances this season.

It is not yet clear how long Gudelj will be absent from his club and what health precautions need to be taken. At the time, Christian Eriksen had a pacemaker fitted before he celebrated his comeback on the football field.
