Somersault Celebration Injury Kills Footballer

A footballer has died from severe spinal cord damage after injuring himself while attempting to celebrate a goal with a somersault.

Bethlehem Vengthlang FC midfielder Peter Biaksangzuala died at a hospital in the northeastern Indian state of Mizoram after the incident during a match in the third-tier Mizoram Premier League (MPL).

After scoring the equaliser against Chanmari West FC, the 23-year-old performed the backflip but landed awkwardly.

He could be seen in footage lying unconscious as his teammates surrounded him and gestured for help.

MFA secretary Lalnghinglova Hmar said: "We are shocked by the case. We at the Mizoram Football Association did all we could but could not save him.

"The association president also being the state health minister, he did all that was possible even though he was out of station.

"We considered the option to fly him to Delhi but his condition was pretty bad. He was mostly unconscious, occasionally spelling out a few words."

Biaksangzuala was taken to hospital and a CT scan revealed damage to his spinal cord.

Despite being moved to an intensive care unit, he died from his injuries on Sunday.

Bethlehem has decided to retire the number 21 jersey as a tribute to Biaksangzuala, while Mr Hmar said the MFA would organise a match in his memory.
