A 17-year-old boy,

Wassim Jazzar,

died during a soccer match in Algeria in which he received a strong accidental kick from an opponent.

The events occurred on March 15, when Wassim, who was playing with the NRB Oued El Ma team, received an accidental kick and collapsed on the grass. As can be seen in images posted on social networks, he hit his head hard when he fell and was left unconscious.

Apparently, since there were no medical personnel on the field, it was his own teammates and club workers who had to help him and the young man died a week later in the hospital.
