>>> there is an outpouring of concern from soccer fans around the world tonight after a popular young player collapsed on the field yesterday in london as millions watched on television. we get that story from nbc's duncan golestani.
>> reporter: in london , a stadium falls silent. on the pitch, a soccer player is fighting for his life. minutes earlier, fabrice muamba had fallen to the ground, no other players were around him. the minutes pass as paramedics try to resuscitate him, watched by upset teammates and shocked fans. they begin to chant his name. then the silence returns. this was the 23-year-old earlier in the game, charging the field that he would later be carried off. muamba was brought here to london 's chess hospital where his team say doctors got his heart working again. he had suffered a cardiac arrest. he remains in intensive care, his condition described as critical. it shocked a nation where soccer is the number one sport.
>> we left so many messages from all around the world. it just has been unbelievable.
>> reporter: today rival teams were also showing their support. muamba is popular not just for his talent, but his determination. he came to london as a young refugee who couldn't speak english and quickly became a star student. as a top sportsman, he was in excellent physical condition, but experts now think he might have had an undetected heart condition .
>> that's related almost certainly to something he was born with, a small abnormality in his heart muscle or in the soft channels that control the beating of the heart.
>> reporter: muamba's collapse was watched live by millions. now they are praying to see him back on the field, having made a full recovery. duncan golestani, nbc news, london .
