Soccer player dies after being hit by object from crowd

The Algerian interior ministry ordered an investigation to search for the culprit.

CAMEROONIAN FOOTBALL PLAYER Albert Ebosse died Saturday after he was hit by a projectile thrown from the stands following his team’s loss in the Algerian football championship, APS news agency reported.

Ebosse, who was 24, was declared dead after he was rushed to a hospital at Tizi Ouzou, east of the capital Algiers, where the match took place.

He scored the lone goal for his club JS Kabylie in the home match in what turned out to be a 2-1 defeat against USM Alger, on the second day of the tournament.

Fans had started throwing objects from the stands inside the Tizi Ouzou stadium after the match as the players were returning to their changing room.

Ebosse joined JS Kabylie in 2013, and was top scorer in the 2013-2014 championship.

The Algerian interior ministry ordered an investigation to search for the culprit.

    In fairness the IFTAS are a bit like the Irish Open Golf.Not really worth a whole pile in the grand scheme of things but its nice to see the Irish lads who have done well supporting their own.In fairness Gleason or Fassbender could easily blow it off given that they’re both having huge years. Colin Farrell always makes an attempt to make an appearance.He has True Detective on as well.Daniel Day Lewis who always seems to be at a loose end will probably turn up.Actually does anyone know how he has managed so many Oscar wins? He never seems to leave Ireland.Soarise Roman ect will probably make an outing.Its all a bit twee but if it generates a bit of interest in the Irish film industry and a bit of cash sure how bad.It also allows people who might not usually have access to Hollywood the opportunity .

    I’d say love hate 5 and actors and the director of it will win the awards they are nominated for. I don’t mean mind who wins. Good luck to all

    Cillian Murphy has a good shout for his performance in peaky blinders, which was brilliant.
