Héctor Castro, who accidentally cut off his right forearm while using an electric saw as a teenager, played on the Uruguay soccer team during the first-ever World Cup in 1930. In the last game between Uruguay and Argentina, Castro scored the winning goal in the last minute of the game. The final score was 4–2, making Uruguay the first country to win the World Cup title.
 
What an incredible story about Héctor Castro! 🌟 It's amazing how he overcame such a life-changing accident to not only play soccer but to also score the winning goal in the very first World Cup. That moment must have been unforgettable for him and for Uruguay, making them the first World Cup champions! ⚽️ It really shows how determination and passion can lead to incredible achievements, no matter the challenges we face.
