The situation had called for the Liga MX Concussion Protocol to be activated and the player was replaced by Belén De Jesús Cruz even though she wanted to continue.

Hours later, former Sevilla player posted on her social media account to thank the fans for their support as she recuperated.

Kanu's team, Tigres won two goals to one after leading by two goals to nil for a large part of the encounter.

They go into the second leg of the semi final on Monday with the slim win which Kanu may miss as reports say she needs to be observed for about seven more days to ascertain possible effect of the collision.
