Diego Maradona on Tuesday suffered a health scare following Argentina’s 2-1 win over Nigeria at the 2018 World Cup.
The former World Cup winner was reportedly helped from his seat at the St Petersburg Stadium, before slumping into a chair inside the stadium.
Maradona, 57, was then treated immediately by Russian paramedics and Argentine reporting that he was taken to a local hospital afterwards.
Maradona had earlier been filmed manically celebrating Marcos Rojo’s late winning goal.
As television cameras swung his way, seconds after the ball hit the back of Nigeria’s net, Maradona thrust middle-finger gestures with both hands.
