Brazilian Diego Carballo of 18 fainted on the playground in the heat of an amateur meeting in Brazil's Sao Paolo state, according to local press reports.

Carballo was left lying unconscious just eight minutes after the start of the semi-final taking place in a small provincial town.

The young footballer was immediately checked by a medical team, but never came back to consciousness.

According to doctors, Carballo suffered of a heart disease that eventually caused his death.

This is the second death case of a Brazilian-born that died on the playground during the final of a local tournament in India's Bangalore.
