Luis Diaz’s father was in tears on Thursday after he watched his son score both goals for Columbia in a 2-1 win over Brazil in a World Cup qualifying match.<\/p>\n

Wearing a Colombia top and a silver rosary, Luis Manuel Diaz fell on top fellow fans in the stands of the Estadio Metropolitano, in Barranquilla, Colombia<\/strong> and wept next to his wife, Cilenis Marulanda, as he celebrated.<\/p>\n

The 58-year-old was held captive for 12 days by the ELN guerrilla group, but was reunited with his son<\/strong> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“I thank God. He makes it all possible. We have always lived tough moments, but life makes you strong and brave. So is soccer and so is life,” Luis Diaz<\/strong>, who plays his club football at Liverpool, said after the match. “We deserved this victory.”<\/p>\n

Diaz got a brace of headers, the first in the 75th minute and the second in the 79th.<\/p>\n

It was Colombia’s first win against Brazil in World Cup qualifying in 15 matches.<\/p>\n

“He is a friend, he suffered a lot these days. This is beyond football, he deserves it,” said Brazil’s goalkeeper Alisson, a teammate of Diaz at Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Armed men on motorcycles kidnapped Diaz’s parents from a petrol station<\/strong> in the town of Barrancas on 28 October.<\/p>\n

His mother was rescued within hours by police, who set up roadblocks around the town of 40,000 people near the Venezuelan border.<\/p>\n

Diaz and Colombia face Paraguay on Tuesday in the next step of their campaign to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
