Lightning killed a soccer player in the middle of a soccer match in Indonesia. The image recorded by an amateur goes around the world.
There was no rain falling on the field and apparently there was no electrical storm that would lead the referee to suspend the match.
When barely 15 minutes had passed in the first half of the game, the players advanced with the ball on the field of play.
Suddenly, a powerful lightning strike directly hit the player who fell ‘shot’ on the field of play.
Everything was chaos when lightning killed a footballer
The painful event occurred on the field of the Siliwangi stadium located in the city of Bandung in Indonesia.
The footballer who died was identified as Septian Raharaja, 34, in an incident that occurred last Sunday (February 11).
The footballer’s teammates immediately ran to help him, but they might do nothing to save his life.
The event revived a controversy, now at an international level, regarding security for footballers inside stadiums.
Many even claimed that the stadium did not have lightning rods that might have prevented the tragedy that has engulfed Indonesian soccer.
Through social media, people reflected that “this reminds us how unpredictable and powerful the forces of nature can be.”
