Yesterday, a 20-year-old athlete in domestic professional soccer jumped his neck in the middle of the game and lost consciousness. Fortunately, referees, fellow players, and medical staff were quick to cope and prevented major accidents.

It is Lee Jung Chan.

Lee Seung-mo tried to head in the first three minutes of the game and lost his balance and fell from the head to the ground.

Kim Hee-gon, who had an intuition about risk, secured from Lee Seung-mo's prayer, who immediately stopped playing and ran unconscious.

[Kim Hee-gon / Referee of professional soccer: There was no consciousness, there was no breathing, and when I was praying, I was more cautious because I fell to my neck.]

The compulsory jin and the two team athletes also moved in unison.

He immediately resuscitated CPR and ran Lee Seungmo's legs to help him circulate blood.

Fortunately, Lee Seung-mo, who found consciousness, was transferred to an ambulance within four minutes of the accident. He was diagnosed with a fine neck fracture and found a bright face.

[Lee Seungmo / Gwangju midfielder: It's not a big injury, so you do not have to worry too much. I'll be back soon so I can look good on the ground.]

It was a preliminary result that I was able to prevent a big accident.

In 2011, Shin Young-rok collapsed during the game, raising awareness about the emergency system, and the professional soccer federation has been steadily implementing countermeasures with more thorough medical staff and equipment.

In a crisis that caused catastrophic damage after only a minute of oxygen supply to the brain, a calm and quick response could save 20-year-old prospects.
