JAKARTA (REUTERS) - Indonesian football fans are mourning the death of Choirul Huda, the long-term goalkeeper and captain of top-flight side Persela Lamongan FC following a collision with a teammate during a weekend match at their stadium in East Java.

Video footage showed Huda slamming into team-mate Ramon Rodrigues in the 43rd minute of Sunday's Liga 1 game.

Rodrigues' knee had accidentally collided with Huda's chest in the incident, said the club's media officer Andika Hangga Pramana.

The 38-year-old was taken off the pitch on a stretcher after losing consciousness and a medical team at the stadium attempted to resuscitate him, said Dr Yudistiro Andri Nugroho, head of the emergency Care Unit at the Soegiri Hospital, Lamongan.

Huda was taken to the hospital's intensive care unit and given breathing assistance and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but his condition deteriorated and he was pronounced dead at 4.45 pm, Nugroho said a statement.

"We did all we could to restore the vital functions of Choirul Huda's organs," the doctor said.

According to the team's Instagram page, the club will retire the No. 1 jersey worn by Huda.

He leaves behind a wife and two children.
