The game between VfL Bochum and Union Berlin was a heated one. In the middle of the second half there was a scene that was worried.
The Bundesliga duel between VfL Bochum and Union Berlin (1-1) has occurred. Union Diogo Leit had to end the game prematurely after a medical operation. The defender was brought off the pitch on a stretcher.
What happened? The 57th minute: Berlin’s Danilho Doekhi clarified a Bochum attack in the penalty area in front of Matúš Bero’s feet. The Slovake took a heart and pulled off the distance – but hit the ball with the ball on the larynx. The Unioner went straight to the ground, rolled back and forth. While several teammates hurried to him, referee Deniz Aytekin interrupted the game and asked for medical staff.
Bleite was brought off the pitch almost seven minutes later on a stretcher towards the ambulance. The spectators applauded in the Ruhr Stadium. The Portuguese was conscious, for him Kevin Vogt came into the game. At the time of the incident, Union Berlin led 1-0. The final result of the game was 1: 1.
Union coach Steffen Baumgart said after the game at DAZN: “I don’t know how he is doing. He is now in the hospital.” It is open whether Bleite can still leave the clinic today, but the defender is out of danger. “Now it’s about that he can swallow again as soon as possible.” More information failed to do.
While the capitals will be going against Werder Bremen next Saturday, VfL Bochum will be guesting at the 1st FC Heidenheim on Friday (both games in the T-Online live ticker). You can find out more about the game here.
