Soccer player dies at 21 after collision with opponent during match

In the 71st minute of a match in Peru, Altamirano's teammate booted a ball from near midfield, and Altamirano chased it down.

However, when the opposing goalie went to catch it, he collided with Altamirano, injuring Altamirano's head in a scary crash.

Altamirano then landed hard and lay motionless. 

He was quickly taken off the field on a stretcher, and he later died of his injuries.

Altamirano's brother told local media in Peru a ruptured artery in his brain led to Altamirano's death.

"Great strength to your family at this difficult time. They are not alone because Titan is with them and the football family is with them."
