CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have called for "exemplary sanctions" following the death of JS Kabylie striker Albert Ebosse, who was killed by a projectile thrown from the crowd in an Algerian league match on Saturday.
The Cameroon forward was struck on the head by an object allegedly thrown from a section of his club's own fans as the players left the field at the end of a 2-1 defeat to USM Alger in Tizi Ouzou, a match in which he had scored his side's goal. JS Kabylie confirmed in a statement posted on the club's website that he had passed away in hospital later on Saturday, though they did not confirm the exact cause of death.
