Argentine Footballer Tragically Dies On the Ground
The football world is in grief as another soccer player shockingly died after being accidentally kneed in the head during a match in Argentina.
The player is named as Michael Favre, 24. The accident happened following a match between San Jorge and Defensores in the Liga Departamental de Colon.
Favre was fighting for the ball just then another player named Geronimo Quintana from the opponent came to stop him but unintentionally he hit him in his head with the knee and they both rolled on the ground.
A third player, on the same team as the victim — Favio Larrosa — then ran over to confront the rival and accidentally knocked Favre to the ground once more as he pushed into him. He was then immediately taken to hospital where he died.
