Major League Soccer player Marco Angulo, a defender who helped FC Cincinnati win the Supporters’ Shield last season, died on Monday night following injures from an October car accident in Ecuador that killed two others. He was 22.
Angulo was a passenger in a car that crashed into a metal barrier on an Ecuadorian highway on Oct. 7. El Universo newspaper in Ecuador reported Angulo had serious head injuries and a lung contusion from the incident.
Angulo was on loan by FC Cincinnati, playing for Ecuadorian team LDU Quito this year. He also played for the Ecuadorian national team.
"It is with deep pain and sadness that we inform you of the death of our beloved Marco Angulo," LDU Quito posted on social media late Monday night. "We extend our condolences to his family and loved ones. His departure is an irreparable loss that will leave an indelible mark on our hearts."
Ecuador’s Football Association said Angulo "defended the colors of our country at every opportunity he had. Marco was not only an outstanding player, but a great teammate. He leaves a deep pain in our hearts."
FC Cincinnati in a statement Tuesday said it is "deeply saddened by the loss of Marco – a husband and father, a brother and son, a friend and teammate. He was a joyful, kind young man who lit up every room he entered."
Major League Soccer also released a statement Tuesday, extending condolences to Angulo’s "wife and son, as well as his entire family, friends, teammates and the soccer community."
