Early life


Coll was born in Barranquilla in 1935.


Career


He started his career with Sporting Barranquilla (1952–55). In 1956, he played for Independiente Medellín and played his first match for Colombia in a 1958 FIFA World Cup Qualifier in the same year. He later played for Deportes Tolima in 1960. Shortly thereafter in 1962 Coll joined América de Cali where he was remembered with scoring a notable goal. In 1965 he played for Deportes Tolima. In the period of 1970-1971 Coll played for Atlético Junior after which he retired from his career as a footballer.[citation needed]


1962 Olympic goal


This achievement came in Arica, Chile, on 3 June 1962, during the development of the game between Colombia and the USSR of the first round of the World Cup. Colombia was down 4–1. Then they were given a corner kick. Marco Coll kicked the ball and scored a direct goal. Colombia would eventually tie with USSR with goals from Antonio Rada and Marino Klinger. At one interview, Coll claimed he aimed for the goal as the Colombian players were too short compared to their Russian opponents. Coll also said it was the first and only time he ever tried to score a goal from that position.[2] The goal inspired a reaction to tie the game 4–4. Colombia went on to lose to Yugoslavia 5–0 and to finish last in their group.


Death


Coll died on 5 June 2017, aged 81, in his native Barranquilla after a short illness.[3]
