Cameroonian Albert Ebosse has died after being
hit by an object thrown by spectators following
a game in Algeria.
Ebosse, who was 24, was declared dead after
being taken to hospital in Tizi Ouzou, east of the
capital Algiers.
The JS Kabylie striker, who had scored in a 2-1
home defeat by USM Alger, was hit when fans
started throwing objects from the stands as the
teams returned to their changing rooms after
the game.
The Algerian interior ministry has ordered an
investigation.
Ebosse was the leading scorer in the Algerian
league in the 2013-14 season, with 17 goals.
It has not been confirmed what hit Ebosse, but
one Algerian paper said that home fans, angry at
their team’s defeat, were throwing rocks.
A statement from Ebosse’s club said he had
“succumbed to a head injury” after being struck
at the end of the match.
Opponents USM Alger described the news of
Ebosse’s death as a “bombshell” and said it was
“terrible” and “saddening”.
