Hrvoje Custic, 25, had been induced into an artificial coma since being injured in the fourth minute of Zadar's 1-0 win over Cibalia on Saturday. He was declared dead by Dr. Edi Krauc.
Custic was fighting for the ball with Cibalia's Tomislav Juric near the sideline when he slid from the field and hit his head on a wall. Juric has not been charged for any offense.

Croatian media has widely reported that Zadar's stadium is unsafe to stage matches.
