A 29-year-old man has died 15 days days after he was involved in a fight between two amateur soccer teams in southern California.

Police confirmed that Misael Sanchez died on Monday morning, two weeks after he became involved in the fight at a high school in Oxnard, a city in the greater Los Angeles area. According to police, players and fans fought after witnesses said they disagreed over a refereeing decision. The game was part of an adult sports league that is unaffiliated with the school.
