A scary collision between teammates temporarily halted a NWSL Challenge Cup match on Saturday.
In the 13th minute of a meeting against the San Diego Wave, Angel City FC defender Madison Hammond took an unintentional shot from teammate goalkeeper DiDi Harau010diu0107 as the two went after a ball in mid-air. Both players laid on the pitch in noticeable discomfort for a few moments as teammates and medical personnel rushed to their aid.
The sequence, shared on Twitter by user CJ Fogler, appears to show Hammond taking the worst of the collision, with her head and neck violently thrusting backwards as she came crashing to the ground.
