Buenos Aires: The Argentine Football Association said Thursday it was suspending all matches this weekend after a fourth-division player died of a head injury sustained during a game.

Emanuel Ortega, a player for Buenos Aires club San Martin de Burzaco, fractured his skull last week when a player from rival side Juventud Unida pushed him as they contested the ball, causing him to fall backwards into a perimeter wall used to keep fans from invading the pitch. Ortega, 21, died Thursday morning at a hospital in the Argentine capital, after undergoing two operations.
