Jamaica College and Wolmer’s Boys’ School were competing in an annual tournament when multiple players collapsed, according to The Jamaica Observer.
Amilcar Ernesto Beckford, who recorded this video, told Storyful the players were hit during the final 10 minutes of the game.
Local media reported that Terrence Francis of Jamaica College, Dwayne Allen of Wolmer’s Boys’ School, and an unnamed player from Jamaica College were among those who received medical attention.
Francis was unresponsive and taken off the field on a stretcher, while the second Jamaica College player was admitted to hospital after complaints of chest pains, held overnight, and released, according to local reports.
The Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association reported on Facebook that Francis, who could not speak or move the left side of his body, is now speaking and has regained movement.
Another match was called off early this evening, ISSA reports, due to lightning. Credit: Amilcar Ernesto Beckford via Storyful

That was strange. There was about a 5 second delay in lightning to thunder. It didn't look like it struck anywhere near them.

Do you think Usain Bolt will visit him in the hospital?

I was thinking about what if this had occurred back in Biblical days. Would this had been considered a curse, God hating soccer and kids?

Both players that were struck slumped down simultaneously in almost the exact same motion. It didn't look like a direct strike. It reassembled more a field of electricity. The other player in maroon looks like he was further from the ring of charge and felt the effects of the lightening strike too.

Are we totally sure they didn't flop intentionally?

At least 2 did in the video. The dude that was carried off on a stretcher looked pretty legit.

that was in no way a direct strike. there would have been an instantaneous explosive boom that would have sent the entire crowd running and neither of those players would be alive. those in the crowd acted as like what happened? more lightning? that's not how it happens in a lightning strike.

How about those people getting up close to take photos of the poor guy on the stretcher.
