as he lands on his head in Tuesday's match

Biaksangzuala mistimed his landing and his head took the brunt
of the fall. Team-mates immediately rushed to his aid and he was
carried off the pitch on a stretcher. Biaksangzuala was rushed to
Aizawl Civil Hospital where a CT scan revealed he had severely
damaged his spinal cord and he was moved to an intensive care
unit.

It was clear from the reaction of players and the referee that
Biaksangzuala was seriously hurt
