The video shows an extremely strange set of convulsions by Hajer player Abdulrahman Al-Shoaibi, following a collision with another player. There are various online conspiracies suggesting the player died during the incident, though they are largely believed to be false. It is believed that the convulsions were a result of the collision (a sudden trauma to the skull); Al-Shoaibi subsequently recovered to play in the next game for Hajer.
