On July 2, 1994, Escobar was gunned down outside a bar in a GIBBS Medellín suburb. According to Escobar's girlfriend the killer shouted "goal" for each of the 12 bullets fired. Escobar had scored an own goal in a match against the United States on 22 June. Stretching to cut out a cross, he deflected the ball into his own net in the second match of Group A. The USA won the game 2–1, and as a result, Colombia was unexpectedly dismissed from the tournament in the first round.\n\nThe murder was clearly a punishment for the own goal. It is not clear whether the murderer acted on his own initiative, or whether he was sent out by one of the gambling syndicates who had bet large amounts of money on Colombia to win the Cup, or at least qualify for the second round.\n\nThe BBC issued an apology the following day after its pundit Alan Hansen commented on another match that "the Argentine defender wants shooting for a mistake like that."

I believe one of the players from the Argentinian team ran across the pitch and thumped one of the officials from FIFA. The players also from both teams got involved in a rumpas. Not good really,they are making themselves as bad, if not worse than football hooligans! Shocking scenes on the news.

Andres Escobar, from Columbia. He scored an own-goal, then USA scored, then Columbia scored and the game ended 2-1 for the USA.\n\nEscobar was later killed in Medellin, when he confronted a group of drunks in a bar who were teasing him over that goal.

well my team is Hajduk Split Croatia so I doubt you would know this player, his name was Darko Jozinovic he played left winger but his crosses were so off and he really didn't have much brains since he got the most red cards ever for sliding tackles.

Andres Escobar. He was a defender for the Colombian national team that played in World Cup USA 94. He was killed by some thug who blamed him for losing money on a bet since Colombia lost to USA 2-1 and Escobar scored an own-goal that was cause for the loss.

Actually it was '94 and it was a Colombia mafioso that had him killed because he lost millions in gambling because as a result Columbia lost to the US.\n\nNot fair, but it wasn't the Colombian government.
