LUIS Diaz's emotional family celebrated the Liverpool star's late goal last night as the hunt continues for his kidnapped dad.<\/p>\n

The footballer's father, 58, was taken hostage at gunpoint ELN rebels\u00a0alongside his wife at a petrol station in Colombia nine days ago.<\/p>\n

Cilenis Marulanda was rescued within hours – but\u00a0Diaz's father Luis Manuel is yet to be found as his release by the guerrilla\u00a0group stalls.<\/p>\n

Amid the desperate search for Luis Manuel, Diaz netted a dramatic late equaliser against Luton on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

After scoring in stoppage time, Diaz lifted his shirt to reveal the words "Libertad Para Papa" – meaning "Freedom for my father".<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old had come off the bench at Kenilworth Road to secure a vital point for\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0who sit third in the Prem following the 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n

And his extended family watched on at home – with a short clip from his grandparent's home showing a crowd cheering.<\/p>\n

They can be heard screaming and pumping their fists while huddled around a television.<\/p>\n

After clinching the 95th-minute goal, Diaz made an impassioned plea to the guerilla rebels holding his dad to release him "immediately".<\/p>\n

In a heart-rending post on\u00a0Instagram Diaz, writing in Spanish, said: "Every second, every minute our anguish grows.<\/p>\n

"My mother, my brothers and I are desperate, distressed and without words to describe what we are feeling.<\/p>\n

"This suffering will only end when we have him back home.<\/p>\n

"I beg you to resolve this immediately, respecting your integrity and ending this painful wait as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

"In the name of love and compassion, we ask that you reconsider your actions and allow us to get him back."<\/p>\n

It comes days after the ELN group promised to release Luis Manuel.<\/p>\n

But the rebels have insisted they need \u201csecurity guarantees\u201d before freeing him.<\/p>\n

The guerrilla group pledged to "keep their word" – but accused the government of complicating things with the response triggered by the kidnap.<\/p>\n

CCTV footage showed the D\u00edazes being followed by men on motorbikes in their hometown of Barrancas, in the northern province of La Guajira.<\/p>\n

Gunmen then accosted the couple at a petrol station, leaving Cilenis, before police closed in.<\/p>\n

Police have been combing the mountainous Serran\u00eda del Perij\u00e1 area near the Venezuelan border for Diaz during a frantic week-long hunt.<\/p>\n

The horror meant\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0winger Diaz missed two games for his club but he appeared in Sunday's fixture against Luton.<\/p>\n

It comes amid reports the ELN planned the kidnapping for at least five months.<\/p>\n

ELN members had put Luis Manuel Diaz under surveillance to study his routine, Colombian outlet Semana reported.<\/p>\n
