An incident occurred during the Turkey Under-21 national team's match against Croatia, involving their head coach Egemen Korkmaz. It all started with the expulsion of a Turkish footballist, which provoked a strong reaction from the coach. Visibly upset, the coach protested intensely against the referee's decision, raising the tension of the moment. During his protest, he lost his balance, slipped, and hit his head on the pitch. The impact was strong enough to cause the coach to lose consciousness for a few moments, triggering immediate alarm. Players and medical staff rushed to his aid, while the match was stopped due to the severity of the scene. Paramedics entered the field to provide urgent care, stabilize him, and then transfer him by ambulance to a nearby hospital. According to the official report, Korkmaz suffered a head injury from the impact but regained consciousness before being taken to the medical center. His condition was reported as stable, which brought relief to the team's entourage. The match had to be temporarily suspended due to the situation. Fortunately, subsequent reports were encouraging, indicating that the coach is not in danger, although he will remain under medical observation to rule out any major complications. The episode left a strong image in the world of football, reminding everyone how unpredictable this sport can be even outside the plays of the game, and how an impulsive reaction can lead to a major scare on the field.
