The highly anticipated Championship clash between Millwall and Sunderland was unexpectedly paused on Saturday due to two medical emergencies in the crowd. The game was halted for a total of 30 minutes as players were taken off the pitch to attend to the incidents.
As the first half was coming to a close, one fan in the Dockers Stand at The Den was seen being taken away on a stretcher. This caused the match to be suspended, with Sunderland in the lead thanks to a goal from Aaron Connolly. However, after the game resumed, Millwall managed to equalize and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Millwall posted on social media during the game, informing the fans that the players had left the pitch due to a medical emergency in the crowd. They also sent their best wishes to those receiving attention. The medical staff of Millwall were joined by paramedics to attend to the first incident. Unfortunately, it was later discovered that another fan needed assistance in a different part of the ground behind the dugout.
It was Millwall's right-back, Ryan Leonard, who noticed the commotion in the crowd and immediately signaled for medical support while retrieving the ball for a throw-in. After the delay, the match eventually resumed and finished much later than the other 3pm Championship matches on Saturday.
Although Sunderland failed to hold on to their lead and secure three points, they remain at the top of the league. The Black Cats are determined to make a comeback to the Premier League this season under the management of Régis Le Bris. Their next game will be at home against West Brom on Tuesday.
On the other hand, Millwall will be facing a tough away game against Portsmouth on Wednesday. Both teams are hoping for a successful season and will continue to give their all on the pitch.
