When Omar Holness Went Down, the RSL Family Came Together Quickly

In the 34th minute of a 1-0 win for the Real Monarchs on Saturday, Rio Tinto Stadium went quiet when midfielder Omar Holness collapsed to the ground. Suffering from apparent seizures the 22-year-old Jamaican was treated on the field just outside the 18-yard box as his teammates and fans looked on.

At the front of that pack was Devon Sandoval. Like Holness, Sandoval was on loan from Real Salt Lake, getting some valuable playing time during an off-week for the MLS club. When he saw his teammate in need, he sprung to his aid, doing what he could to serve as a brother at his side.
