Reports indicate that the player was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead by the doctors. Unfortunately, this was not the first such tragic incident during a football match. In December of the previous year, a lightning bolt struck a football pitch during a match in Brazil, resulting in the death of a player while six others were injured.

Similarly, another tragic incident occurred in August 2023, where a young footballer was fatally struck by lightning in Managua, Nicaragua. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
