13-year-old boy dies after colliding with teammate during a football game.

On 8th November 2020, a tragic incident occurred in the community of Papaloapan, in the city of Tierra Blanca, in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. 13-year-old Ernesto Ricardo Salomon, nicknamed Neto, was playing for the Pumas de Tres Valles youth team A during a talent scouting match to recruit talented footballers. During the match, he collided with another player and collapsed, losing consciousness.

Despite attempts by his parents, who were coaching and refereeing, and other spectators to resuscitate him, he ultimately died. Public ministry and expert services personnel, along with investigators, arrived at the scene and cordoned off the area while trying to revive him. His body was then taken to the Institute of Forensic Sciences for an autopsy to determine the cause of his death.

Local media reported the cause of death to be a sudden heart attack from the collision, however, the investigative bodies did not confirm this as of writing.

The community of Tierra Blanca rallied around Ernesto's family during this difficult time. His body was taken to Telesecundaria Cuauhtemoc for his school to bid him farewell, and his funeral was held in Tierra Blanca. Several sporting teams in the Tierra Blanca city, including Ernesto's Club, sent their condolences.
