Gabon Goalkeeper Dies After Kick To The Head

AC Bongoville's Sylvain Azougoui has died after being kicked in the head during a league match in Gabon.

The goalkeeper died on the way to hospital after the incident during a match against Centre Mberi Sportif.

The 30-year-old from Togo had just stopped a shot on goal, but the attacker lost his balance on the wet grass and stepped on Azougoui's head.

"It is truly difficult to see how fate can be so cruel," a statement on the club's Facebook page said.
