A terrible injury, one of those that can not only jeopardize a career, but also cause very serious and permanent damage. Ronal Dominguez was immediately taken to the hospital after a frightening collision with his goalkeeper, Andres Marsengo. A very dangerous incident during the game, which occurred in the elite Paraguayan football championship, between Recoleta FC and Olimpia. Great concern for the yellow footballer, who was immobilized and immediately transported by ambulance, which even entered the field of play.
The risk of further possible injuries related to the movement of poor Ronal Dominguez after the brutal blow he received to the face had to be avoided. In practice, during an opponent's action, the Recoleta player had taken up position in his area, when the goalkeeper came quickly. The latter, in an attempt to catch the ball in the air, decided to go ahead of everyone and hit his teammate with his knee very high. After an opponent moved quickly, Dominguez received a full blow to the face and remained stunned on the ground, with the marks on his face of this involuntary, but very strong contact.

Teammates and opponents immediately tried to ask the referee to speed up the aid procedures. The Recoleta doctors managed to bring the ambulance onto the field, which, after traversing the entire playing field, approached the place where Domínguez was. The footballer, with a cervical collar and oxygen, was placed on a stretcher and left the field, while Marsengo, overcome by a sense of guilt despite the fact that his action was involuntary, never left him alone.
Initial information indicates a definite fracture of the nose and a series of facial injuries for the footballer, who is undergoing all the necessary examinations. It is essential to rule out more serious or neurological injuries for the youngster, who in the future may, like other equally unlucky colleagues, return to playing with a helmet or protective mask.
