A third-tier Ghanaian footballer Michael Dzigbodzi Agormor Junior died during a league match on 1 May at the Tema Sports Stadium because of the absence of first aid treatment.
The True Democracy player went for a tackle against Royal Anderlecht player and remained motionless afterwards, the Ghana Sports Newspaper reported.
The medical team not equipped with the necessary first aid only poured iced water on him and fanned him with his jersey but still did not respond.
He was later rushed to the Tema Port Clinic but had to be sent to the Tema General Hospital because there was no doctor around and was confirmed dead.
Chairman of True Democracy Club lamented: “Tema General Hospital told us if he had been provided oxygen earlier we could have saved his life but it was too late.”
The 25-year-old was a graduate of Ho Polytechnic.
