A Bolivian goalkeeper was rushed to hospital after being struck by missiles allegedly thrown by his former club’s fans.
Daniel Vaca was hit in the face by firecrackers in his own penalty box while playing for The Strongest against Jorge Wilstermann in a Bolivian top-flight game.

Shocking footage emerged of the 40-year-old holding his head in pain after being targeted in second half injury-time with his side 2-1 up.
Reports claim paramedics treated Vaca on the pitch before taking him to hospital.
Following the frightening scenes at the Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz, Vaca told reporters: “I’m better now.”
The Bolivia international, who has won 15 caps for his country, played 41 times for Jorge Wilstermann in 2010 before moving to The Strongest a year later.
