So they broke into a hotel bar just as Yessofou was beginning to drink alcohol for the first time. They grabbed glass bottles and smashed them on him and stabbed with a knife and tortured him with beating sticks. Then they left the bar causing Yessofou to fall the floor and he died. However, this did not stop the tournament which continued as normal and Benin went on to win a bronze medal later on.Clare Nelson Murder of goalkeeper will not stop tournament https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2353987/Murder-of-goalkeeper-will-not-stop-tournament.html Telegraph 24 May 2011 19 January 2005 References 2005 Youth Championship Youth Championship Championship Category:2005 in Benin Category:2005 FIFA World Youth Championship qualification Category:Men's football in Benin Category:International association football competitions hosted by Benin Category:January 2005 sports events in Africa
