While some of us are still busy celebrating the victory of the Super Eagles of Nigeria over the Elephants of Cote...the story is unfortunately different for the family of the Ismails', whose 40-year-old father slummed and died while watching that same match on Sunday.
According to PUNCH; Moshood Ismail on Sunday collapsed and died at a viewing centre in Abeokuta, Ogun State, while watching the match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Elephants of Cote.
Ismail, a father of two and an engineer with the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, caused a commotion inside the viewing centre when he suddenly collapsed in the early minutes of the game.
An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, said that Ismail became agitated and later collapsed when an Ivorien defender deflected a goal-bound shot from Victor Moses.
Ismail's neighbor, Taiwo Adebayo, who was also at the viewing centre when the incident occurred, said, "He (Ismail) fell on the ground and immediately started foaming in the mouth before he later died."
