In the round of 16,[2]
In the 43rd minute, the match was suspended after Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch due to a cardiac arrest. Eriksen was transferred to Rigshospitalet where he was stabilised.[3][4][5] UEFA gave the players two options for restarting the match, either to resume later in the evening or the next day at 12:00 CEST. Only after receiving confirmation that Eriksen was awake, the Danish team agreed to continue the match that evening.[6] The match was resumed at 20:30, with the last four minutes of the first half to be completed prior to a five-minute half-time break.[7]
