For The First Time! The Match In Germany Was Paused For A Moment For Player To Break Their Fast, This Happened In The Augsburg Vs Mainz 05 Match

JAKARTA - There is an extraordinary moment that uploads supporters in the German Bundesliga. The match between Augsburg and Mainz 05, last weekend, was briefly suspended to give one player time to break their fast.

That figure is Mainz defender, Moussa Niakhate. He was known to be fasting when the match was played until the 65th minute.

When it was time to break the fast, the referee for the match, Matthias Jollenbeck, stopped the match for a moment. He invited the player to drink to avoid dehydration.

From the video that circulated on social media, Niakhate broke his fast by drinking water and energy drinks.

After breaking the fast, the match continued. Niakhate also appeared to approach referee Jollenbeck to thank him.

According to Sport, this is the first time a match in Germany has been suspended to allow players to break their fast.

This scene also received an overwhelming response from fans, both those who watched the match live and those who saw the footage online.

Muslims around the world are currently carrying out the worship of Ramadan. Besides Moussa Niakhate, Real Madrid's Karim Benzema also did it.

In fact, he admitted to fasting all day before scoring three goals against Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, some time ago.
