Shocking footage emerged of the 40-year-old holding his head in pain after being targeted in second half injury-time with his side 2-1 up.
Reports claim paramedics treated Vaca on the pitch before taking him to hospital.
Following the frightening scenes at the Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz, Vaca told reporters: “I’m better now.”
The Bolivia international, who has won 15 caps for his country, played 41 times for Jorge Wilstermann in 2010 before moving to The Strongest a year later.
