Roberto Rojas

Roberto Antonio Rojas Saavedra (born 8 August 1957), nicknamed El Cóndor, is a retired Chilean football goalkeeper.

In 1989, he deliberately injured himself during a World Cup qualifying match in an attempt to avoid a loss by the Chile national team.

[3][4] In 1989, Rojas was in goal for Chile's 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Brazil at Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã stadium.

A firework, thrown from the stands by a Brazilian fan named Rosenery Mello do Nascimento, was smoldering on the pitch about a yard away.

Rojas, his head bloodied, was carried off the field; his teammates then refused to return claiming that conditions were unsafe.
