Dramatic moments unfolded shortly before the end of the first half at Panthessaliko Stadium during the match between Olympiacos and Volos Elabet for Matchday 3 of the Stoiximan Super League.
Specifically, in the 43rd minute, Ayoub El Kaabi found himself one-on-one and had a very hard collision with Siabanis, who had come off his line to get to the ball first.
The Moroccan midfielder appears to have suffered a shocking injury, as immediately after the violent collision he remained on the grass, writhing in pain in his left leg, his screams and the way his body convulsed bringing the Panthessaliko Stadium to a standstill.
Teammates and opponents immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, urgently calling for the “Red-and-Whites’” medical staff, with many players forming a “shield” with their bodies around the veteran striker.
Several players stood stunned on the field, unable to believe what had just happened, with Siampanis as a tragic figure, realizing that something serious had happened and breaking down in tears and sobs in the arms of opponents and teammates…
A few minutes after the shocking injury, El Kaabi was carried off the field on a stretcher and then loaded into an ambulance to be taken to the nearest hospital in the city, with everyone at Panthessaliko giving him a warm round of applause and Olympiacos fans chanting his name in unison.
