Soccer-Spanish keeper Ramirez, 19, dies after on-field collision


(Reuters) - Spanish fifth-division goalkeeper Raul Ramirez has died at the age of 19 following a collision during a match for his club Colindres, the Cantabrian Football Federation (RFCF) said on Monday.

Ramirez sustained a head injury during Saturday's game against Revilla, with Spanish media reporting that the impact led to multiple cardiac arrests and left him brain dead.

The RFCF announced three days of mourning and said a minute's silence would be observed at all matches next week in his memory.
