Felix Nmecha commented on the strange scene with referee Bastian Dankert with a smile. “It didn’t hurt me at all. I think just his back,” said the German national soccer player from Borussia Dortmund. While trying to get the ball, the 25-year-old collided with Dankert in the 2-0 win against FC Augsburg. The referee sank to the ground, remained lying there for a moment, but then continued the game.
“I think he’s okay. I hope he’s okay,” said Nmecha and added with a wink: “I would have gotten the ball.”
