Croatian footballer collapses and dies during match

 

News of his tragic death comes three weeks after Fiorentina captain Davide Astori passed away in his sleep before a Serie A match with Udinese.

A Croatian footballer Bruno Boban tragically died on the pitch after being hit in the chest with the ball at close range during a match on Saturday.

The 25-year old striker appeared to be fine after the incident —but just seconds later he dropped to the ground in the 15th minute of the game and completely lost consciousness.
