There was an immediate outpouring of concern on social media following Hislop's collapse.

This sparked immediate concern on the touchline as a couple of nearby workers rushed over and Thomas can be heard saying “ Shak. Shak. We need some help.”

Later in an update, Thomas confirmed Hislop said: “Obviously far too early to make any sort of diagnosis, but the important thing is, that Shaka’s conscious and we spoke to his family as well because you imagine seeing that happen live. We spoke to his wife and things are looking OK.”
