A group of mourners watched a live football match while sitting next to a relative’s open coffin at a family wake.

The deceased man, named Grandpa Feña, was a huge sports fan.

At his wake there were several of his sports trophies and a large poster of him holding aloft a shiny cup.

The poster reads: “Uncle Feña, thank you for all the moments you gave us.

“We will always remember you, your Condorian family.”

His funeral took place in Chile on the same day that the national side took on Peru in the Copa America last Friday (21 Jun).

Footage shows around 10 mourners engrossed in the live fixture next to the open coffin.

Sadly for the passionate relatives and pals, the game ended in a disappointing 0-0 draw.

Four days later, Chile lost their second group game against Argentina 1-0 after a last-gasp winner by Lautaro Martínez, as reported by What’s the Jam.

They now need to win their last game against Canada on Saturday (29 Jun) to have a chance of progressing in the tournament.

One family member said: “Not even death can separate us, see you soon Grandpa.”

One local said: “At my house, we watched the match like it was a funeral as well.”

Another wrote: “There were about five other dead people on the pitch too.”

Peter commented: “You didn’t miss anything, my friend, stay deceased.”

Oscar moaned: “The game was dead, not a single spark. Anyway, strength my friend.”

Elvira said: “What a beautiful video, the deceased is happy, it’s the attitude.”
