The article begins with a general description of what previously occurred, then goes into greater detail about what happened between the player and the referee. The 17-year-old player struck the referee, Ricardo Portillo, in the face after Portillo made a call that penalized the player. The player was issued with a yellow card for unsportsmanlike conduct on the field. After being taken to the hospital, what was originally believed to be minor injuries was later determined to be a substantial injury to the head. Portillo went into a coma and was in critical condition until the time of his death Saturday night. The teen was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and is being held in a juvenile detention center. He will face additional charges this week in connection with the death of the referee. The author includes a quotation from an interview with the victim's daughter.
