BFA releases footage of teen soccer star Guo's tragic tackle

With newly released footage and first-aid details backing up its earlier statement, the Beijing Football Association has reiterated that the handling of the injury that led to the tragic death of young soccer talent Guo Jiaxuan was responsible and in compliance with standard procedure.

A week after Guo passed away in Beijing on March 19, the BFA on Wednesday released video clips of the Feb 6 training match in Madrid, where Guo sustained the life-threatening head injury, details of the medical treatment following the accident, and information regarding Guo's insurance.

A video clip of the match, reviewed and approved by Beijing-based Zhengyang Notary Office, clearly captures the incident in the second half of a game between a BFA under-20's side and local club RC Alcobendas, where the 18-year-old Guo's head accidentally collides with the left knee of a Spanish player in the process of defending a counterattack.
