Rubén Pinar from Albacete wanted to receive him with a long change of knees in the third but was run over by the bull, who lifted him up by his jacket and then shot him in the armpit. He fell plumb and headlong onto the sand where, unconscious, the crews picked him up to take him to the infirmary, leaving the bull fight for Juan Leal.
Shortly after, reassuring news arrived from the infirmary where the bullfighter, who was not wearing a goring, regained consciousness and expressed his desire to go out to fight his second bull.
The doctors, however, decided to transfer him to a medical center to carry out the pertinent tests, also taking into account the medical history of Rubén Pinar who, as a result of a mishap ten years earlier, suffered head trauma that subsequently produced episodes of epilepsy, those that are still being discussed.
