>In 1989, Rojas was in goal for Chile's 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Brazil at Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã stadium. Chile, down 1–0, would be eliminated from the upcoming World Cup if they lost. Around the 70-minute mark of the match, Rojas fell to the pitch writhing and holding his forehead. A firework, thrown from the stands by a Brazilian fan named Rosenery Mello do Nascimento, was smoldering on the pitch about a yard away. It seemed that Rojas had been hit by the firework, an incident that could've had the match nullified and possibly even have had Brazil penalized by FIFA. Rojas, his head bloodied, was carried off the field; his teammates then refused to return claiming that conditions were unsafe. The match was unfinished.
>Video evidence later showed that Rojas had not been hit by the firework. His head injury was discovered to have been self-inflicted with a razor blade he had hidden in his glove. FIFA awarded Brazil a 2–0 win, effectively eliminating Chile from the 1990 World Cup. As a consequence, Chile was banned from the 1994 FIFA World Cup and Rojas was banned for life, along with the coach Orlando Aravena and the team doctor Daniel Rodriguez.

Or that he would get into a collision with some player from the opposing team. Always be prepared.
Asher Brown
The guy was defrauded on the lockeroom because his injury was "too clean" to be caused by a firework. No burn mark, pretty straight cut...
Grayson Brooks
i thought nobody thought about race outside of image boards and other racist boards. but if people joked about that long time ago, it is the real issue and we just pretend it is bad to talk about it?? i am confused. do people care about race in latin america or not.
Gavin Morales
what if that player also had a razor?
