“NPR can confirm the death of longtime football columnist Grant Wahl,” Lewis wrote.

The U.S. Soccer Federation on its official Twitter account expressed condolences over Val’s death.

According to RIA Novosti, the 48-year-old commentator lost consciousness during the match. The arriving team of doctors carried out resuscitation measures and carried away the journalist on a stretcher.
