A fan of the Cádiz suffered a descompensación cardiac and deserved the intervention of the paramédicos. The goalkeeper Jeremías Ledesma moved a desfibrilador to the grandstand to attend to the fanatical and, after almost 20 minutes of wait, the referee Carlos of the Big Hill agreed with the captains the course of the players to the changing room.
After the withdrawal of the players, they evacuated the sector of the south stand where the affected fan was located, who managed to be transferred by ambulance to the hospital with vital signs.
