STOCKHOLM - A 29-year-old Swedish soccer player collapsed and died of a suspected cardiac arrest, minutes after giving his team the lead in a league match on Sunday.
Pitea player Victor Brannstrom had scored after just four minutes against Umedalen in their Division Two North clash on Sunday when he suddenly sat down and slumped over, according to a local newspaper.
A kit man and nurse immediately administered CPR until three ambulances arrived and Brannstrom was taken to Pitea hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He had retired after a similar collapse but was cleared by tests .
