Choirul Huda, a 38-year-old goalkeeper for Indonesian club Persela FC, died Sunday after colliding with a teammate and opponent during an Indonesian first-division match against Semen Padang.
Huda was rushed to a nearby hospital in an ambulance after being carried off the field on a stretcher. The club announced his death later in the day:

Below is the video. It shows replays of the collision that eventually resulted in Huda’s death. If you choose to watch, please be aware that it is graphic, especially given that we now know the injuries were fatal.
The match was completed after the injury, with Persela winning 2-0. Players and staff reportedly went straight to the hospital after the match, where they were informed that Huda had been pronounced dead.
Huda had played for Persela for 18 years. The club called him a “legend of Persela” in its tribute on social media.
wow thats crazy it didnt even look that serious.....
rip Huda
rip Huda
It really didn't. I've seen crazier challenges and keepers pop back up.
Horrible accident. RIP Huda.
Keep in mind they don't wear protective gear like American football and hockey players. I am shocked more serious injuries don't happen. RIP to him still.
A professional soccer goalie in Indonesia died after a vicious collision in a game Sunday. Choirul Huda, 38, sustained injuries after impact with the knee of Persela Lamongan teammate Ramon Rodrigues.
Via NewsAsia:
Zaki Mubarak, the doctor attending to Chorul, said the hard impact on the keeper’s neck and head resulted in hypoxia – a condition in which a part of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level.
Huda was transported to the hospital, where he arrived unconscious but still breathing. However, he was not able to survive. Huda had been part of the team since 1999, and played as the first-team goalkeeper beginning in 2002. The veteran had 503 career appearances for the club.
“All of the players finished the game and went to the hospital, where it was announced that Choirul Huda had died,” [Persela coach Aji Santoso] said, per the Daily Mirror.
“The loss of Choirul Huda has hit us all hard."
Huda was struck in the chest and paramedics immediately gave him sideline emergency treatment. One paramedic said that after the incident, he was still conscious and complained of a chest pain, but his condition soon relapsed and he later died from his injuries in a local hospital.
According to a doctor in the local hospital, he suffered from collision on his chest and lower jaw, which caused hypoxia that ultimately led to his death. Due to severe injury, he might also have experienced trauma to his head, neck, and chest

Football causes most concussions? Think again

In December 2014, Ohio State University football player Kosta Karageorge went missing.
He left a note for his mother, and after a week of searching, his body was found in a dumpster near his apartment. Karageorge died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
It was later determined that Karageorge had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, an incurable degenerative brain disease found in people with a history of brain trauma.
Football has been the sport most talked about in connection with concussion and brain trauma studies. With its aggressive and physical nature, it comes as no surprise that head injuries are all too frequent in the sport.
But behind Karageorge's devastating story is another. One that ended less tragically but brings to light another sport riddled with concussions and brain trauma.
Whitney Brydge, a former Stuarts Draft goalkeeper and current graduate assistant coach at Salem International University, was forced to forgo her senior season at SIU because of a concussion.
Sports like girls soccer have been calculated to result in 33 concussions per 100,000 player outings and wrestling has about 24 concussions per 100,000 player outings a year, according to The Head Case Co. In comparison, the most recent study — completed in 2012 — shows that at least one football player sustains a concussion for every game played.
On the same note, while soccer has fewer concussions per year when compared to football, the severity of concussions sustained in soccer is significantly higher.
"Recent studies show that soccer has surpassed football," said neurologist Peter A. Puzio from Augusta Health Neurology. "As soccer grows in popularity, so does the incidence of concussion. There's not a perfect a number because it all depends on the severity of each one, but there is a cumulative effect of concussions. One is bad, but it depends on the severity of the concussions."
At the same time, he says, football has seen measures taken to reduce incidence of concussions. It has also become more common for football players to quit the sport for fear of developing CTE.
Popular notion
And while many quit football, some athletes moved on to other sports such as soccer, or wrestling — both of which many people believe are less dangerous. But recent studies show they are just as risky as football.
Brydge's first concussion happened in her sophomore year of high school. Then 15, Brydge took a week off from playing.
"It was one of those weekend things," Brydge said. "I had headaches over the weekend, but when I got back to school on Monday, I was ready to play, but I still had to sit out a week."
Brydge's second concussion was the one to end her playing career.
In her final game at SIU, Brydge's memory of the day and even weeks after the game are hazy. Her collision with an attacker from the opposing team finished her time as a player for the team as she worked for months in rehab.
According to Puzio, it's all too common to knock heads with players when going for the ball.
"All you have to do is watch the World Cup and see why," Puzio said. "You see these headers; all these people have to hit the ball with their head. Of course the head is not protected in anyway when they head a ball that's going 60 miles per hour."
In wrestling, athletes are pushed and shoved to the ground, which can often result in athletes smacking their heads on the mat.
"There is a lot of acceleration and deceleration injuries in wrestling so the brain can still be injured even if you're not directly hitting your head," Puzio said.
In the atmosphere surrounding high school and college athletics, professionals and parents have argued with coaches over how to prevent and treat concussions.
Less aggressive
Arguments from helmet changes to requiring less contact have been thrown out, but Puzio said it ultimately comes down to playing less aggressive sports.
"As long as you're going to have traumatic sports where heads are hitting solid objects or the ground, there is no way to prevent that type of injury," Puzio said. "It's like bruising a piece of fruit when it's young. It's going to have that bruise even as it matures."
But Brydge, now 22, hasn't stopped working with the sport she's been passionate about since she was 7. For Brydge, her story has a happy ending — one that can help future soccer players at SIU.
"Now I can help people prevent hurting themselves," Brydge said. "The concussion made me realize that I definitely need to know my surroundings when I play. That's the thing with soccer, you have to be aware of what's around you."
no protective gear except shin guards...
& not much u can do about it either...any other protective gear would change the game dramatically ...
the one thats scary is when 2 players go up for headers i seen a player get knocked out before heads colliding...
