Colosseo's 32-year-old midfielder Carlos Sanchez Moreno has been threatened with death in a match against Japan.

Colombia handed the first game in the World Cup to Japan 1-2. The squad was at the beginning of the game due to the deportation of Sánchez to ten.

Espanyol's defensive midfielder, one of Colombia's consistent and influential knuckles, had to use his hand to block the shot from Kagawa to prevent his team from flipping in and for this reason was fired directly by getting a red card. Eventually, Colombia handed ten players 2-1.

According to the Guardian, Sanchez has received death threats after the game, and Colombian police have also started investigating.

In the 1994 World Cup, Colombian defender Escobar was killed in a return match against Colombia in a match against America.
