Fans at a Ukrainian league match between Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and Dynamo Kiev were left stunned when Dynamo captain Oleg Gusev’s life was left in the balance, after the midfielder swallowed his tongue having been knocked unconscious.
But in a heroic and quick-thinking act, Dnipro midfielder Jaba Kankava recognised the danger, immediately rushing to his side and clearing his airway – unquestionably saving the Ukrainian international’s life.The only casualty appeared to be Kankava, who was seen ruefully shaking his hand after being accidently bitten during the incident.
