They met Italy in the Round of 16, in Daejeon, in front of 42,000 people. They drew 1-1 against the USA and beat Portugal 1-0 to top their group. The South Koreans had never won a match at the World Cup before, and set things right in their first match with a 2-0 win against Poland.

South Korea became the first Asian nation to reach the top four, but their route was unfortunately marred by refereeing controversies. In 2002, the World Cup came to Asia for the first time, when Japan and South Korea co-hosted the tournament. Alex Caetano de Barros, who examined him at Inter Milan, said, it was “an absolute error, since the 24 hours after a convulsion are those when a recurrence is most likely.” Whether it was epileptic or psychosomatic or drug-induced remains unknown, but playing him was certainly a mistake. There was little doubt that Ronaldo had a seizure. It was rumoured that Nike, who had struck a $160 million deal with the Brazilian Football Confederation, had forced Ronaldo to play. Zagallo had not included Ronaldo in the original line-up, and changed his mind only when the doctors at the Lilas clinic gave Ronaldo an all-clear. Ronaldo had been with Roberto Carlos when “his entire body convulsed, he frothed at the mouth and began to shake uncontrollably.” César Sampaio managed to prevent Ronaldo from swallowing his tongue. The national congress sprung into motion.

Soon afterwards, a lawsuit was filed in a Rio de Janeiro court. France won the World Cup with a resounding 3-0 win, the heaviest margin of defeat Brazil had suffered in the history of the tournament until then until then. It was evident that Ronaldo was not at his best that night. There are numerous theories around the murder - the most prominent being a grudge borne by gamblers who had bet on Colombia at the World Cup - but they remain unproved. His funeral was attended by a hundred thousand fans, including president César Gaviria. But the assailants arrived and fired several bullets at him as he sat in the driver’s seat.Įscobar was declared dead less than half an hour later. When a group of fans began to insult him at the El Indio Bar, Escobar walked away to the car park. Six days after the Switzerland match, he stepped out of home, ignoring cautions of some well-wishers. A 2-0 win in the last match, against Switzerland, provided little consolation to the Colombians.Įscobar was visibly upset when he returned home, in Medellín. Escobar intercepted it, but the ball beat his own goalkeeper, Óscar Córdoba. In the 35th minute of the latter, John Harkes of the US sent a cross towards the Colombian goal. In the latter, Colombia were eliminated after they lost 1-3 to Romania and 1-2 to the US in their first two matches.
