Peter had scored a goal in the 61st minute for Bethlehem Vengthlang FC of the Mizoram Football Association last week. <br /><br />“He was trying to do Germany’s Klose signature flip stunt, but it misfired unfortunately,” a source told Metro UK. <br /><br />Biaksangzuala found the back of the net on a rebound and celebrated with a front handspring before going into his failed somersault. He landed face-first on the field and was surrounded right away by teammates who called for medical staff. <br /><br />After playing on despite his horrific injury last week, his club announced on Sunday they would retire his No. 21 jersey.
