Derlis Gonzalez's dream output in Paraguay's quarter-final penalty shoot-out win over Brazil turned into a nightmare after the match.
Paraguay's penalty hero Derlis Gonzalez saw his celebrations curtailed by tragedy following the death of his uncle from a heart attack on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old forward scored from the spot to level his side's Copa America quarterfinal clash with Brazil in Concepcion at 1-1, and then netted the winner in the shootout to seal a place in the last four for Ramon Diaz's men.
But after the game, Gonzalez learned that his uncle had suffered a heart attack while watching the match in his homeland, and passed away with doctors unable to revive him.
