Rene Paredes hits game-winning field goal in front of his grandmother who flew in from Peru



Rene Paredes has been a member of the Calgary Stampeders for nearly a decade as he joined the organization during the 2011 season and over the years he’s kicked his way up the record books as he’s the most accurate kicker in CFL history.

On Thursday night the 34-year-old had a big performance for the Stampeders as he kicked five field goals, including the last-second game-winning field goal, to help Calgary escape with a one-point victory, but there was something else about the night that made it an extremely special one for the two-time Grey Cup champion.



Parades had some special guests in attendance for Thursday night’s game against the Ottawa Redblacks, which included his grandma from Peru, who got to watch her grandson play football for the very first time. Not only did she get to watch him do his thing numerous times throughout the night, but she got to witness him win the game for his team.



It's good!
