A 72-year-old Brighton supporter died after becoming unwell during the second half of Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Fulham, Brighton confirmed.
The man, who was in the upper tier of the East Stand at the Amex Stadium, received prolonged CPR and defibrillation from medics at the scene but passed away following the conclusion of the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber said: “This was an incredibly sad end to the match this afternoon, and our deepest sympathies and condolences go out to the family and friends of the gentleman who lost his life.
“While the gentleman concerned is foremost in our minds, we are also aware that it was an emotional and distressing situation for staff and supporters in the direct vicinity.
“Over the coming days we will ensure those affected are properly supported.”
Brighton’s safety team, with the support of Sussex Police and the Premier League, opted not to stop the game because the majority of fans and both sets of players were unaware of the incident.
It was felt any stoppage in play would have brought further attention to the scene and potentially impacted resuscitation attempts, as well as creating possible complications had the man responded and required rapid transportation to hospital.
Stellenbosch FC secured a 2-0 win over Sekhukhune United in the first leg of their MTN8 semi-final on Saturday night.
MTN8
Result: Stellenbosch FC 2-0 Sekhukhune United
Date: 16 August 2025
Venue: Danie Craven Stadium
Stellies coach Steve Barker brought Enyinnaya Godswill and Ibraheem Jabaar back into the line-up, while there was also a debut for new signing Mthetheleli Mthiyane.
Meanwhile, Eric Tinkler recalled veterans Miguel Timm and Bradley Grobler, who scored a late winner off the bench on Wednesday night in the Betway Premiership against TS Galaxy.
It was an evenly contested affair in the early stages, where both Stellenbosch and Sekhukhune managed to carve out a couple half chances in the opening 15 minutes but neither goalkeeper was seriously tested.
The opening goal arrived on 22 minutes when Enyinnaya opened his account for the season with a towering header at the near post that left goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner with no chance.
The lead was doubled in the 33rd minute when Lesiba Nku embarked on a superb run on the counter-attack before picking out Devin Titus, who skipped past Daniel Cardoso before firing past Leaner.
Sekhukhune came out for the second half with a lot more purpose in the attack, but they were let down by the finishing in the 18 yard area while the home side remained a threat on the counter attack.
Stellenbosch, however, were quite resolute at the back for majority of the second half, which forced coach Tinkler to change up his attack by withdrawing Keletso Makgalwa on 70 minutes for Malekgene Mampuru.
That proved to be the trend for the remainder of the game as Stellenbosch will head to next week’s second leg with a 2-0 goal cushion.
Norwich City manager Liam Manning said he is hoping not to receive any bids for Josh Sargent before the close of the transfer window after the United States striker scored for a third straight game to start the new season.
Sargent netted his second goal in two Championship games, having also scored in the Carabao Cup in midweek, to give Norwich a 2-1 win at Portsmouth on Saturday.
Sargent, who captained the side, remains linked with a move away from the club, though Manning is hopeful that he will still be at Carrow Road at the beginning of September.

“I’m hoping Ben [Knapper, director of football] turns his phone off so we don’t get any calls,” Manning joked.
“Sarge role models everything you want. He’s a top person, a top professional. You see his work rate and how he leads by example. He’s top class.”
Werder Bremen in 2021, was close to a transfer to Wolfsburg in a deal worth in excess of €21 million ($24.4m) earlier this summer but reportedly turned down the move.
Sargent scored 15 goals in England’s second tier last season and following his strike in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup win over Watford, Manning described him as the “best Championship striker.”
The Missouri native has also won 28 caps for the U.S. men’s national team and is firmly in contention for a place in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad for next summer’s World Cup on home soil. However, he has struggled to translate his club form to international soccer, and has gone more than five years without a goal for the USMNT.

Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich will be aiming to secure an unprecedented 11th Franz Beckenbauer Supercup title on Saturday when it faces Sebastian Hoeneß’s DFB-Pokal winner Stuttgart.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if they’re not available where you are.
Bayern arrives with something to prove after a disappointing quarterfinal exit at the FIFA Club World Cup in the US earlier this summer. Encouragingly for Kompany, his team has responded well in preseason, recording victories over Lyon, Tottenham and Grasshoppers.
Stuttgart, meanwhile, are chasing their first-ever triumph in this traditional curtain-raiser on home soil. Much of the spotlight will fall on forward Nick Woltemade, who starts for Die Roten despite being the subject of a reported $65 million transfer bid from Bayern earlier this week.
Stuttgart takes on Bayern Munich on Saturday, Aug. 16, at MHPArena. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. CET local time in Germany, making it an 7:30 p.m. BST start in the UK. It’s a 2:30 a.m. ET or 11:30 a.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, and a 5:30 a.m. AEDT start in Australia in the early hours of Saturday morning.

How to watch the German Super Cup from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to watch live Bundesliga action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

Quick tips for streaming the Bundesliga using a VPN
With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Bundesliga matches may vary.
If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
Stellenbosch FC secured a crucial advantage in the MTN8 semi-final, earning a 2-0 first-leg win over Sekhukhune United in a match played on a muddy Danie Craven Stadium on Saturday evening.
With goals from Devin Titus and Godswill Enyinnaya, the home side positioned themselves well to advance to the final.
Coming into the game, Stellenbosch were looking to turn their fortunes around after a loss and a draw in the Betway Premiership, while their opponents, Sekhukhune, were on a perfect run of three wins from three games, including a victory in the MTN8.
In response, Stellies coach Steve Barker made four changes to his starting XI, introducing Godswill Enyinnaya, Mthetheleli Mthiyane, Ibraheem Jabaar, and Ashley Cupido to replace Sanele Barns, Langelihle Phili, Chumani Butsaka, and Lesiba Nku.
Meanwhile, Sekhukhune’s Eric Tinkler opted to start Miguel Timm and Bradley Grobler, who came in for Thabang Monare and Chibuike Ohizu.
Five minutes into the game, the home side had to make an early change as Ashley Cupido was forced off with a knock and replaced by Lesiba Nku. The hosts started with clear intent, creating a lot of forward pressure in search of an early goal. But as the match progressed, Sekhukhune also began to find their rhythm, generating some exciting moments in attack.
Despite the game flowing from end to end, both teams were so cautious that clear-cut chances were few and far between.
The first real test came in the 15th minute when the Cape Winelands side’s keeper, Sage Stephens, was called into action to deny Vusimuzi Mncube’s strike from outside the box.
STELLENBOSCH OPENER CAME FROM DEFENDER ENYINNAYA
Stellenbosch broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute when Enyinnaya headed home a corner from Nku. Sekhukhune responded with a few attempts of their own, but they failed to capitalise on the opportunities they created in their search for an equaliser.
In the 32nd minute, Stellenbosch doubled their lead with a swift counter-attack that started from a Sekhukhune corner. Nku provided a clever outside-of-the-boot pass to Devin Titus, who found the back of the net.

Seeking more firepower, Tinkler responded in the second half with offensive-minded changes, sending on Shaune Mogaila and Chibuike Ohizu to replace Ngoanamello Rammala and Daniel Cardoso.
However, Sekhukhune struggled to contain Stellenbosch, who looked threatening whenever they crossed the halfway line, and in the 52nd minute, Devin Titus missed a clear chance to grab his second goal, sending the ball over the bar. Two minutes later, another glorious opportunity was wasted when Lesiba Nku hit the crossbar following a pass from Andre De Jong.
In the 70th minute, the Limpopo outfit made another change with Malekgene Mampuru coming on for Keletso Makgalwa. Meanwhile, Stellies took off Nku and Thato Khiba, introducing Langelihle Phili and Butsaka.
The home side remained solid at the back, denying Sekhukhune what would be an away goal advantage going into the return tie. The second and decisive leg will be hosted by Sekhukhune at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, August 23, to determine who advances to the final.
