29 October 2023 at 19:52 Dutch top league match interrupted – player had to be revived The match between AZ Alkmaar and Nijmegen in the Dutch honor division was interrupted after the visitors’ striker Bas Dost fell over and was left apparently lifeless. The episode happened in overtime in the match the visitors were leading 2-1. Dost, who had scored the first goal of the match, fell over and lay down. Players from both teams stood around with folded hands as he received medical treatment. After a few painful minutes came the news that Dost was conscious. He was carried out on a stretcher and raised his hand to the audience. Both teams’ supporters shouted his name. – Bas was gone for a while, but they revived him. The medics from both teams did a very good job and they deserve compliments for how quickly they intervened, said Nijmegen’s general manager Wilco van Schaik, according to NOS. Dost’s father was present at the stadium and was kept informed by van Schaik. – He was notified to the rest of the family. Fortunately, there are now positive messages that can be conveyed. Bas is conscious and looking better. There were five minutes left in added time when the terrifying incident occurred. The Nijmegen players said they did not want to play on and were supported by the home team. Thus the match was not resumed. – It was very quiet in the dressing room, but the fist Bas raised in the air said a lot, said van Schaik. Lars Olden Larsen is a club mate of Dost. He played from the start, but was replaced in the 63rd minute. David Møller Wolfe played the entire game for AZ. (NTB)
