<p>The woman said her husband kept on making gestures while watching the match on television and abruptly collapsed and died at the Tema General Hospital.</p>

<p><em>“My husband is a big fan of football who religiously follows Hearts and Kotoko matches. He was watching the Ghana vs Mozambique game. During the game, he kept on shouting and making gestures. He even threatened to sack the coach,”</em> she told Happy FM, as quoted by Ghanaweb.</p>

<p><em>"At some point, the station changed to the Egypt versus Cape Verde game. He wanted Cape Verde to beat Egypt so whenever Cape Verde got the ball, he kept on encouraging them to push ahead and score. </em></p>

<p><em>“He was making gestures and jumping about. All I could see was that he collapsed and died before we could get to the hospital.”</em></p>
