BRUSSELS (AP) -Fifth-tier Belgian club Merksem S.C. says one of its players has died during a match.

Merksem says Bobsam Elejiko collapsed during the Provincial 1 game against F.C. Kaart on Sunday and attempts to resuscitate the Nigerian-born Belgian were unsuccessful.

The cause of death was not immediately clear.

Merksem says in a statement on its website that "we express our condolences to the Elejiko family during this difficult time."

The 30-year-old Elejiko had previously played for Westerlo and Antwerp among other teams.

The match was abandoned after Elejiko's death.
