Confetti and streamers fly at the Lobos family tent as Franklin Lobos becomes the 27th to emerge from the rescue shaft. The daughter of the former Chilean soccer star-turned-miner greets him with a signed soccer ball and a tearful hug.
"You have won the toughest match of your life," Chilean President Sebastian Pinera tells the 53-year-old as he makes his way through the line of dignitaries.
"The hardest match of my life," Lobos responds.
The family of former Chilean national soccer player Franklin Lobos cheers as the rescue capsule carrying him leaves the mine. Members of Lobos' extended family have been a constant presence at the San Jose mine site, inviting members of the media to work in their tent and dine with them.
