Mizoram footballer dies after TYC Annual sports meet concludes
over-zealous celebration
AIZAWL, Oct 20 : Young Mizoram footballer Peter
Biaksangzuala has died after injuring his spinal cord while
celebrating a goal he had scored, media reports said Monday.
Peter, 23, fell backwards on his head as he took a series
of somersaults after scoring an equaliser for his Aizwal-based
team Bethlehem Vengthlang FC in a Mizoram Premier League
match. He was a native of Khawzawl town in Mizoram.
Peter’s team was trailing Chanmari West FC by a goal for
62 minutes when the midfielder scored the equaliser.
He celebrated with a series of somersaults, landing on his
head and remained on the ground in pain. He was carried off
the field and admitted to the Aizawl Civil Hospital.
His team lost the match 2-3. All attempts to repair his
spinal cord at the hospital failed and he passed away Sunday.
Footballers often injure themselves while celebrating a goal,
but there is no record of overzealous celebration causing death
of players. –– Agencies
