Friendly called off after Nigerian player dies

Nigerian defender David Oniya collapsed on the pitch and died after playing just a few minutes of a local friendly in Malaysia on Saturday.

Oniya, 30, went down about three minutes into the game for T-Team and was pronounced dead at hospital around 30 minutes later, the club's chief executive told The Star newspaper.

Syahrizan Mohd Zain said Oniya, who was in his first season with second-tier squad, barely touched the ball in the friendly with Super League side Kelantan in Kota Bharu.
