Trinidadian-born football analyst and former professional goalkeeper, Shaka Hislop, had a frightening moment during a live broadcast on Sunday night while covering AC Milan and Real Madrid's friendly match at the Rose Bowl in Southern California.

Thankfully, he is doing well after collapsing on air.

The incident occurred while Hislop was in conversation with ESPN's Dan Thomas right before the game. Suddenly, he started swaying on the sidelines and then collapsed, falling face-first and slightly hitting Thomas. The broadcast immediately cut to commercial as viewers were left in shock by the alarming scene.

Shortly after the incident, Thomas provided an update on social media, reassuring concerned fans that Hislop was conscious. During halftime of the match, Thomas went live again to give further information, stating that Hislop was both conscious and talking. He also mentioned that Hislop had expressed his apologies for the incident. However, specific details about what caused the collapse or his current condition have not been disclosed.

Seeing the incident unfold live was undoubtedly a distressing moment, but Thomas provided some relief, sharing that they had spoken to Hislop's wife, and things were looking okay. The incident raised concerns among fans and viewers, but the update on Hislop's condition brought some comfort.

Shaka Hislop, 54, has had a remarkable career as a professional soccer player, spanning 15 years. Notably, he was the starting goalkeeper for Trinidad and Tobago's men's national team during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. Hislop also played for prominent clubs in Europe, such as Newcastle United, West Ham, and Portsmouth, before joining Major League Soccer's FC Dallas for two seasons. He retired from professional soccer in 2007.
