*The Portuguese player collapsed during a friendly game and could not be revived.*

**Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): 

- Trust 42 of 100, higher is better. Central claim attributed to named bodies, with one outlet providing a full report and multiple others naming the club and Lisbon Football Association.
- Craft 57 of 100, higher is better. Most outlets are digests, limiting the depth of reporting. Some reports lack specific details on the cause of collapse.
- Hype 41 of 100, lower is better. Headlines use words like 'tragedy' and 'shock' but the body of the reporting is factual.

**The short version**

- Portuguese footballer Quévin Castro, 25, died after collapsing during a friendly match.
- Castro collapsed during the first half of the game while playing for fourth-division team Real Sport Clube.
- Medical teams attempted to resuscitate him and used a defibrillator.
- His former club, West Bromwich Albion, will pay tribute with a period of applause and wear black armbands.

Portuguese soccer player Quévin Castro, 25, died after collapsing during a friendly match. Castro played for fourth-division team Real Sport Clube. The Lisbon Football Association and his club announced his death on Saturday, stating he collapsed earlier that day during a preseason match against Estrela de Amadora.

Medical teams on the pitch attempted to resuscitate Castro and used a defibrillator. Despite these efforts, he could not be saved. His former club, West Bromwich Albion, announced they would pay tribute with a period of applause in the 25th minute of their upcoming game against Burnley and wear black armbands.

## Disagreements in reporting

While most reports state Castro collapsed during a friendly match, one digest from t-online stated he "cannot be saved despite immediate action." Another digest from Welt stated he "dies in hospital."

## What the coverage left out

None of the left-rated digests mention the specific stadium where the match took place. None of the centre-rated digests mention the specific stadium where the match took place. None of the right-rated digests mention the specific stadium where the match took place.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- Left-rated reports highlighted Castro's age and the fact he died during a match. Several mentioned his former club, West Bromwich Albion, and his debut against Arsenal. Bleacherreport, which provided a full report, detailed his career path, including loan spells and his return to Portugal. Digests from this side often mentioned the use of a defibrillator and the attempts to resuscitate him. T-online's digest noted he was a former "talent" and "cannot be saved despite immediate action."

### Centre

- Centre-rated reports focused on Castro's death at 25 after collapsing during a match. Many digests mentioned his time at West Bromwich Albion and quoted "Far more than a player" from Cleveland and Syracuse NY. Extra.ie noted that medical staff from both teams rushed to his aid. Sussex Express highlighted the "devastation" of Eastbourne Borough FC, a former club.

### Right

- Right-rated reports, primarily digests, stated that Quévin Castro, 25, died after collapsing during a friendly match. Several mentioned his former club, West Bromwich Albion. Focus.de's digest noted he was a "former English football professional." El Financiero's digest posed the question "Who Was the Former West Bromwich Footballer?" Romaniatv.net's digest referred to him as a "Portuguese Middleman" who died "on the field."
