Colombia was eliminated from the World Cup in the round of 16 following a penalty shootout loss to Switzerland, where Campaz's shot went wide in extra time. Following the match, Campaz's social media was flooded with negative comments and threats, leading him to limit comments and not return to Colombia with his teammates. The Colombian football federation has condemned the threats, stating that no athlete should face intimidation for representing their country, and urged an investigation by the attorney general's office. The incident recalls the 1994 murder of Colombian defender Andrés Escobar, who was killed days after scoring an own-goal in the World Cup.
