I believe he was returning back home to Columbia and was killed becuase the mob had alot of money on that game and he blew it.

Reply:I think you are referring to the Columbian defender that was responsible for an own goal against the U.S. in the world cup back in the 1990's. This essentially knocked Columbia out of the next round. Ironically his name was Escobar (not Pablo of course) and he was killed in Columbia. Apparently his assassins shouted "Goal" with each shot.
