Shortly thereafter, he collapsed to the ground while his coach and teammates quickly run toward him. His coach, Anton Basov, continued to massage on his chest and perform mouth-to-mouth breathing to save him.

The unconscious goalkeeper had to be rushed to the hospital and then transferred by helicopter to a clinic in Moscow.

Ivan’s sister said: “He was conscious several times, but doctors were afraid to take risks, and he has been put back to coma.”

“There was no sign of cloudy over the stadium before and after the incident, there was no indication that shows the incident would occur,” said her sister.
