A sad event in Belgium:
Belgian football goalkeeper Arne Espil died at the age of 25, after collapsing on the pitch in his team's match, moments after stopping a penalty in his amateur team's match.
According to reports in the Belgian media, Aspil, who plays for Winkel Sport B from the Belgian provincial league, saved the kick but fell to the ground immediately afterwards.
The emergency services rushed to help him and tried to revive him with a defibrillator, but he was pronounced dead shortly after he was taken to a hospital.

He died doing what he loved.
