Both teams came together to pray after the game. King’s former Bay FC teammate Alex Loera led the group.
Royals head coach Jimmy Coenraets was unsure the match would be allowed to continue after the terrifying incident.
“I think at that point, yes, there is a result, there is a game, but I just want to make sure people feel safe, healthy, good and they can actually move on,” he said. “I think that was also the focus after the game for us.”
