A player was killed during an
Algerian league match after being
pelted with a projectile thrown by
a fan.
Albert Ebosse was struck on the
head by an object thrown at the end of JS Kabylie’s 2-1 defeat
to USM Alger in Tizi Ouzou.
A stone struck the Cameroonian forward, who had scored his
side's goal in the game, as he walked towards the tunnel. He
was taken to hospital but never recovered.
Kabylie captain Ali Rial revealed that Ebosse died in his arms
as he accompanied him to the hospital in the ambulance.
"I'm depressed, it's real drama and I do not know if I'll get over
it," he said. "He died in my arms, I still cannot believe we have
lost him forever. He was a good man, God rest his soul."
Team-mate Djameleddine Benlamri also spoke of his
devastation, stating it was a shame for the entire nation.
"I cannot find the words to express my grief, except that our
stadiums are no longer safe for football.
"Worse, they have become cemeteries with the death of
Ebosse. It is unthinkable that a player has died because of a
defeat. This is a disaster and it is a shame for our country!"
JSK released a statement after the player's death, revealing
the incident will be investigated. "The Ministry of Interior and
Local Government, through minister Tayeb Belaiz, has given
the instruction to open an investigation into the circumstances
surrounding the death of Albert Ebosse," the statement read.
"The JSK player succumbed to a head injury after being hit in
the head at the end of the meeting with USM Alger."
