Peter's acrobatic celebration

Peter Biaksangzuala, a hard-working defensive midfielder from Mizoram died after falling on his head while trying a somersault celebration after he scored for Bethlehem Vengthlang FC in the Mizoram Premier League.

According to sources, he was trying to emulate German great Miroslav Klose, who always celebrated like this after scoring. During the first-ever Indian Super League match as well, we witnessed such an acrobatic celebration from Fikru Teferra.

But unfortunately, Peter mistimed his landing and his head took the brunt of the fall. According to doctors, his spinal cord had been severely damaged and on the fifth day at the hospital, he was declared as dead. He donated his eyes during the stay at the hospital as per some reports and in memory of him, the club has retired the #21 jersey
