AC Bongoville’s Sylvain Azougoui has died after being kicked in the head during a league match in Gabon.<\/p>\n
The goalkeeper died on the way to hospital after the incident during a match against Centre Mberi Sportif.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old from Togo had just stopped a shot on goal, but the attacker lost his balance on the wet grass and stepped on Azougoui’s head.<\/p>\n
“It is truly difficult to see how fate can be so cruel,” a statement on the club’s Facebook page said.<\/p>\n
“He had been decisive and exemplary on several occasions when AC Bongoville were in difficulty – and knowing that he is leaving us so young because of an innocuous blow is truly sad.”<\/p>\n
Sunday’s game was played in Bongoville almost 800 kilometres from Gabon’s capital of Libreville.<\/p>\n
