MARADONA HOSPITALIZED AFTER DISRESPECT TO NIGERIA DURING MATCH AGAINST ARGENTINA(IMAGES)
Argentine football legend, Diego Maradona seemed to have needed help to walk after watching his national team Luckily beat Nigeria to survive in the World Cup Campaign.
Argentine media reported that Diego Maradona was treated for low blood pressure in the stadium and was able to leave the stadium normally shortly afterwards.
On watching the video posted by Fernando Schwartz, a popular sports journalist in Mexico, a man can be seen helping Maradona to stay on his feet as he was led away from his seat overlooking the pitch and into an adjacent room.
A photograph which posted on Twitter appeared to show two medical staff attending to Maradona.
Durring the match, he had been captured by the cameras flicking his middle fingers toward the crowd, stamping his foot and celebrating wildly as Argentina beat Nigeria 2-1 with the winner coming in the dying minutes before the South Americans would have been eliminated from the finals.
The Argentine website of sports broadcaster ESPN later reported saying Maradona was taken to hospital for treatment.
