Cesar Flores, 48, was refereeing a neighbourhood match in Cordoba on Sunday when he sent a player off for a foul.

The player, who police have not yet identified but goes by the nickname of 'Baldy', shot Flores multiple times, according to Argentine newspaper La Voz.

"The most serious bullet wound was in the head. He was also shot in the neck and chest," a police spokesperson told La Voz.

"The person who fired the shots was a player who had been sent off moments before.

"He went to his bag and returned with a gun and opened fire."

The referee died in hospital on Sunday night.

Another footballer, Walter Zarate, 25, was standing beside Flores and also received a bullet wound to the chest. He was taken to a local hospital.

The gunman ran from the scene and is still being hunted by police.
