During the match between Winkel Sport and Westrosebeck's amateurs, Estil hosted a penalty, but immediately fell to the ground.
The match was terminated immediately. The player was given quick help, and the defibrillator was even used. Estil left for the hospital later and passed away on the way according to Het Niewsblad's reports.
It's a tragedy and a shock to us. Arne spent his whole life in this club. He was a wonderful boy, always friendly and willing to help others. It's a big blow, first for his family as well as for all of us“, said Patrick Rothsart, the club's sports director.
“was a terrible scene”, Deputy Coach Dewerchin said.
The players all showered together after the incident and then sat down to eat. Then came the message that our doorkeeper had died. It was an extremely heavy blow.
I think some players still don't understand what exactly happened. Arne was a good, funny guy. We're a group of friends, that makes this loss extremely difficult”.
