The frightening incident took place during the Superliga finals between Sesi Sao Paulo and EMS Taubate Funvic, when Carvalho suddenly collapsed in the middle of the interview.

The 35-year-old Brazilian star was enthusiastically talking to a reporter, Fabiola Andrade, during a break when she suddenly closed her eyes and fell to the floor.
