A referee for a recreational soccer league who was punched in the face by a teenager has died, police in Salt Lake City said. Ricardo Portillo, 46, was refereeing a game in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville on April 27 when he cited a player for an infraction and issued him a "yellow card." In soccer, a yellow card is a caution to the player; a second results in his ejection from the game.
