During a recent Ukrainian Premier League match between Dnipro and Dynamo Kiev, Oleh Husev was knocked unconscious after coming into contact with the opposing goalkeeper's knee. When players started to gather around Husev, they noticed that not only was the midfielder unconscious, but his tongue was blocking his airway. With time running out to save Husev's life, Dnipro’s Jaba Kankava was luckily nearby and able to respond in the appropriate manner, therefore saving Oleh's life. Amazing. Just amazing.
Check out how it all went down in the above video.
