A story that began as a movie scene on the football field has ended with a bitter surprise for Costa Rican footballer Derrickson Quiros.
Just three days after proposing to his partner in the stadium, in front of thousands of fans of the Xelajú team in Guatemala, the player has announced the end of their engagement and relationship.
Quiros went viral on social media when he knelt down in the middle of the field and received a "YES" that was accompanied by applause and kisses, but the happiness only lasted 72 hours.
Through a statement on social media, the footballer confirmed the separation, asking for respect for his privacy and emphasizing that he will now focus entirely on his professional career and personal development.
Quiros said that this was a difficult personal situation, but he chose to manage it maturely, without giving details on the reasons that led to this drastic turn of events.
