Colombia striker Luis Diaz scored a double in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Brazil (2-0). The player dedicated the victory to his father, who was recently returned from captivity.
"Yes, I was thinking about my father all the time on the pitch... He always had the right attitude in difficult moments. These goals, this victory, are for him," journalist Fabrizio Romano quoted Diaz on his Twitter page.
As a reminder, Luis Diaz's father was kidnapped in Colombia at the end of October.
