"A recreational league soccer referee who was critically injured and in a coma after being punched by a teenage player during a game died last night, US police said. Ricardo Portillo, 46, died at the hospital where he was being treated following an assault during a soccer game last weekend, police spokesman Justin Hoyal said. Police have accused a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league of punching Mr Portillo after the man called a foul on him and issued him with a yellow card. “The suspect was close to Portillo and punched him once in the face as a result of the call,” Mr Hoyal said in a press release. The teenager has been booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault."
