GABONESE LEAGUE PLAYER DIES DURING MATCH

Reports has it that a player in the Gabonese first division, Herman Tsinga, collapsed during a game over the weekend and was pronounced dead minutes later.

The Gabon Football Federation, FEGAFOOT, has now recorded the seventh of such incident in 12 years. Tsinga was a striker for Akanda FC, in the 23rd minute of the match against Missile FC on Saturday he collapsed in the middle of the field and all effort to resuscitate him was futile.

Although the 30-year-old received a cardiac massage by a military doctor, he still died on his way to hospital.

It was rather sad that neither of the two ambulances present at the scene had the defibrillator or oxygen mask necessary to save the life of the player.
