SANTIAGO: What makes a footballer happier than scoring a goal? Friends gave it to Jaime Esconder. Only one difference. Escondor scored not while he was alive but after he died. This rare tribute is in Huleken, near the Chilean capital, Santiago.

Jaime, striker for the Chilean club Aparison, died of a heart attack on Monday. The spacecraft that buried Jaime’s body was brought to the field and his friends scored the last goal.

One of his friends hit the ball into the spacecraft placed in the goal box and the ball went straight to the goal. Then hug the coffin and ‘rejoice’. The fans stood up with full eyes and applauded and greeted the goal.
