SOCCER GOALKEEPER DIES

An Indonesian goalkeeper died after colliding with a teammate in a match.

Choirul Huda, 38, who had made more than 500 appearances in goal for Persela Lamongan of Indonesia’s top soccer league, was charging a ball in the penalty box against Semen Padang on Sunday when he crashed into

Ramon Rodrigues. Video shows Huda lunging for the ball as his upper body collides with Rodrigues’ knee.

Dr. Yudistiro Andri Nugroho said in a statement to the BBC that the collision, which involved the chest and lower jaw, caused Huda to stop breathing and go into cardiac arrest.
