Sad news from Germany

Two supporters suffered heart attacks during the game Borussia Dortmund - Mainz on Sunday. One fan was taken to hospital with a 'stable condition' while the other unfortunately has died, despite the medical team's effort to revive him. The supporters were unusually quiet midway through the second half while the visiting fans, out of solidarity, stopped singing or chanting for the rest of the game. Nearly all banners were taken down. With news circling around the pitch the whole stadium sang "You'll never walk alone" before the end of the game.
With football not on anybody's mind at that stage, the players were not in the mood as well. Knowing exactly what was going on, Japanese Shinji Kagawa did not even celebrate the goal in the seventy-third minute.
