After Doumbia was knocked unconscious in a challenge with Sunderland's Lamine Kone, Aurier intervened to stop the Rostov player swallowing his tongue. Mali's manager Alain Giresse added that he spoke to Aurier after the game to thank him for his "superb reactions". "All the players realised that Doumbia was choking and was about to swallow his tongue," Giresse told French radio station RMC. "That's when Aurier, with one of our players, quickly put him on his side and pulled out his tongue, because he was about to lose his life."
