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.

RIP…
Hope the bast&*d who did this is found, jailed and gets a life time world wide ban for ever going near a soccer stadium again……..
A life time ban from football grounds should be the last of this lads worries if he is caught
A lifetime in hell, and I hope he lives forever.
When will people realise football is just a game, yes we realise that people and surrounding areas make a living from it but what’s the price of life these days?
The person should get life in jail. Disgusting
Very sporty, you should be in jail for lifetime!
Yep it will be hard for him to get day release from prison to see matches if he is caught.
Could have easily happened at Lansdown Road that infamous night…

It doesn’t take a gaa or rugby supporter with an superiority complex to point out that the “beautiful” game for “gentlemen” is becoming corrupt with supporters and players alike committing criminal offences okay biting racism and fighting take place in other sport but in nowhere near the same frequency as in soccer:p and I have never heard of any rugby or gaa player being killed by a projectile thrown by a supporter. The game in my opinion is becoming more unwatchable and more disgusting by the day.
Soccer… the gentleman’s sport.
You just came to have a dig at the sport…..GAA elitist ? Typical.
Whats it got to do with GAA?? Name one other sport with the same, or even close, problem with fans as football?
Name another sport with as many fans as football. It’s not a minority sport like GAA is.
People people. This is Algeria-who gives a fock.
I was at a game recently and a white round thing hit some guy on the pitch ..it’s going on all over these days
