Yes its true. I can not recall his name but the incident took place during the 1994 world cup when he mistakenly put the ball in his own goal and when the team went back to colombia after being eliminated in the first round he was shot dead in a restaurant when a person approached him with a gun and said " Thank you for your goal" and shot him dead.

True, sadly Andrés Escobar, Colombian soccer player, was killed after he accidentally scored a goal against his team in a World Cup match.
Colombian guerrillas are notorious for killing judges, public officials, politicians, or anyone who disturbs them.
