Violent blow to head: Etienne Vaessen’s condition after collision with Brobbey during Waalwijk vs Ajax match

Moments of apprehension in Waalwijk for what happened at the end of the match between the hosts and Ajax. The match was suspended in the 84th minute after the violent blow to the head suffered by goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen, who collided with Brobbey. The Waalwijk goalkeeper had tried to anticipate the Ajax striker, but the knee of the class of 2002 hit the goalkeeper’s head who immediately collapsed to the ground unconscious. A terrible scene that immediately triggered the reaction of teammates and rivals. Match director van Boekel had no choice but to interrupt the match to allow the team doctors to enter and then suspend the match given the serious condition Vaessen was in.

Transported to hospital in poor condition, the goalkeeper however woke up after initial treatment and is now stable and conscious according to the first tests reported by the ATS portal. He feared the worst when his teammates burst into tears, some sitting on the pitch, some running away to the locker rooms. In fact, it was impossible to continue playing and this explains the definitive suspension of the match which was announced by the stadium speaker 10 minutes after the incident. Luckily, now, the good news. At least Vaessen is conscious while waiting to fully understand the dynamics of the accident.
