El gordo Kaviedes

Iván Kaviedes, one of Ecuador’s most skillful and troubled footballers – of whom I’m extremely fond – has come out of retirement at the age of thirty-nine to play for Deportivo Santo Domingo, the lower-tier club of his natal city.

Once known as El Flaco, he is now rather fat.

This hasn’t prevented him from scoring. Here is a report of his debut match. It includes a video that shows him scoring the tying goal.

The video also shows glimpses of Santo Domingo, the city in which my parents reside.
