yellow_card_given-coffinGoran Tunjic, a Croatian player for Mladost FC, has the worst luck in the world. Not only did he suffer a fatal heart attack in the middle of a game, but he also got booked for it. The 32-year-old defender collapsed on the pitch in the 35th minute of the County League game against Hratski Sokola. The referee officiating the game, thinking that Tunjic took a dive, ran towards the fallen player and gave him the yellow card. Turns out, he wasn't faking it. Tunjic had a heart attack. Immediately, the referee called the medical unit to the field, who took Tunic to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, that was too late for the footballer. According to a team spokesman:
Doctors tried to help him but there was nothing they could do. He just fell dead on the spot.
Club officials also stated that Tunjic had never had any health complications that would've prevented him from playing.

    wtf, who is fidel martinez, omg. That's not true. Head referee was the first to rescue a player who suddenly fell and remained lying. Tunjic is turned on its side and pulled his tongue, because the boy was unconscious. Goran Rest in peace. Eurosport - check who writes for you...
