247 - Midfielder James Rodríguez had a heroic day in Qatar this week. During a match between Al Rayyan, the Colombian's team, and Al Wakrah, defender Ousmane Coulibaly suffered a cardiac arrest, and the former Real Madrid player helped to assist his teammate. This information comes from the Lance website.
"Al Wakrah's doctor, Mukhtar Shabaan, confirmed that James Rodríguez took an important step to adjust Ousmane Coulbaly's head position immediately after he collapsed, so that he could breathe properly," the club wrote on social media.
The match, valid for the first division of the Qatari championship, was postponed after the incident and was resumed last Monday, with Al Rayyan winning 3-0. Before the game restarted, players from both teams paid tribute to James Rodríguez's heroic act.
