A Ugandan footballer Fahad Musana collapsed and died moments after Frank Lampard’s late equaliser in the Barclays Premier League (BPL) game between Manchester City and Chelsea.

The death of Musana, 24, comes as total shock as the central defender played the entire game of his club - Simba’s 1-0 win over Entebbe FC - in the Uganda Premier League (UPL) match at Nakivubo Stadium on Saturday.

According to Simba coach Fred Kajoba, Musana also trained with the team on Sunday morning. "We trained with him at Bombo and there was no problem with him whatsoever,” he told supersport.com, adding, "I’m still in shock.”

Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) released a statement on their website moments after the player’s death on Sunday evening.

"Fufa is in shock after receiving news about the sudden death of Simba FC player Musana Fahad in Bombo this evening,” reads the statement.

It is reported that Musana, a staunch Chelsea fan, breathed his last after ex-Blue Lampard equalised for his current side Manchester City in a game the visitors were leading 1-0 through an Andre Schurle goal.

Witnesses from the video hall where Musana watched the game from say that the deceased was all lively enjoying the City-Chelsea game until that moment when Lampard equalised.
