KARLSRUHE, Germany (AP)—Cologne captain Umit Ozat collapsed in the 27th minute of Friday night’s 2-0 victory over Karlsruhe and lost consciousness

Ozat was treated by medics, then left the field on a stretcher about 5 minutes later and was taken to a hospital. Coach Christoph Daum and goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon were crying while Ozat was being treated.

Cologne general manager Michael Meier said during halftime that Ozat was able to communicate.

“I hope that the situation is not so serious as it may have looked,” Meier said.

Daum said after the game that the 31-year-old defender was stable.

“It does not look so dramatic now,” Daum said
