Paraguay's Derlis Gonzalez has revealed that a relative died of a heart attack while celebrating their win over Brazil in the Copa America quarter-final on Saturday night.
Gonzalez struck the winning penalty as Paraguay knocked Brazil out of the tournament, clinching the shootout 4-3 after the match finished 1-1.
The striker's father confirmed to Ultima Hora that Irrazabal Manuel, whom they describe as Gonzalez's uncle, had died following the victory.
Gonzalez took to Twitter upon hearing the news, writing: "Why today uncle? Why? You left me after a heart attack because I gave you so much joy and so much happiness. I can't believe it."
Paraguay will face Argentina on Tuesday for a place in the final.
