Albert Ebossé, a striker from Cameroon, has died after being hit in the
head by an object thrown from the crowd at the end of a top-flight
Algerian league game on Saturday.
The 24-year-old was struck by a
projectile, thrown by fans in the stands, as he and fellow teammates
returned to their changing room. His team, JS Kabylie, had just lost
their game against USM Alger in Tizi Ouzou 2-1. The lone goal for JS
Kabylie was scored by late Albert Ebossé. Albert was rushed to the hospital but he lost his life.
Ebosse
played for Coton Sport FC, Unisport Bafang and Douala AC in his
homeland before moving to Malaysian club Perak FA in 2012. He signed for
JS Kabylie in July 2013 and was best scorer in the 2013-2014
championship.
Reports say he recently welcomed a baby. However,
the Algerian interior ministry has ordered an investigation to search
for the culprit.
