Tragedy in Ecuadorian football. Marco Angulo (22 years old) lost his life in a car accident on Monday, November 11.
The young international midfielder (2 caps with Ecuador) was involved in an accident that left a total of three people dead. After 39 days in hospital, he unfortunately died from his injuries.
Having played for FC Cincinnati in MLS and Independiente de Valle, a major club in his country, Angulo was considered one of the greatest hopes of Ecuadorian football at the start. The young man had also returned to play in Ecuador on the Liga de Quito side, a sadly fatal return for the winner of the 2020 Copa Libertadores U20.
