As the Fifa World Cup 2018 hits fever pitch, a Colombian man has shown the Internet what the beautiful game truly means by helping his blind and deaf friend experience their country's win over Poland.

Colombia fan Jose Richard Gallego lost his hearing and vision to a disease when he was nine years old, reported Britain's Sky News last Monday (June 25).
