A shocking video of a La Liga match between Betis and Athletic Bilbao has spread online, in which the assistant referee (supervisor) collapsed and left covered in blood after colliding with a TV camera.
This was Guadalupe Porras' hit with the photographer.
The assistant had to leave the field on a stretcher with a wound to her head.
Get Guadalupe ready 🥹🙏🏻

Referee Guadalupe Borras returned to her seat after confirming Chimi Avila's goal in the 13th minute for Real Betis.
Television coverage did not initially capture what happened, as the medical staff rushed to Betis to treat Boras, and placed her on a stretcher before transferring her to the ambulance.
But according to Relivo, he collided with a DAZN 4K cameraman who was filming close-ups of the goal celebrations.
Boras had to be replaced on the touchline by fourth official Holgueras Castellanos after a long delay in the match.
Former Spanish League referee Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez told Cadena Ser radio: “A message to Javier Tebas [πρόεδρος της LaLiga] – The camera goes where it shouldn't go.
“Please let them work, the assistant referee is as professional as the player.”
Betis doubled their lead when Bilbao's Yuri Persesi scored an own goal in the 38th minute.
