    Valderrama's trauma over own goals and Escobar's

    assassination

    Former Colombian national team player, Carlos


    Valderrama, cannot forget the biggest tragedy in Colombian
    football.

    The former player who plays as a midfielder is still


    traumatized by the drama of an own goal that led to the
    murder of his former teammate, Andres Escobar.
    Escobar died in a tragic event after the 1994 World Cup in the
    United States. He was killed by being shot six times in front
    of the El Indio nightclub on July 2, 1994.

    In media reports in Colombia, the shooters reportedly


    shouted 'Goal!' every time it fires a shot at him. Escobar was
    immediately killed on the spot.

    The murder was also suspected because of the anger of the


    killers because of the own goal incident by the former
    Colombia centre-back.
    Escobar had indeed become the sharp spotlight of the
    Colombian football public. The reason, he made an own goal
    in the 35th minute against the United States in Group A of the
    1994 World Cup.

    Escobar tries to block the kick of Uncle Sam's team striker,


    John Harckes. However, the ball that hit his feet instead
    headed towards his own team's goal and conceded.
    The goal gave the hosts the upper hand. The United States
    also won 2-1 over Colombia.
