Berlin, Feb 21: After scoring the winning goal to help Eintracht Frankfurt beat Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich 2-1, Amin Younes’ first thought was for the victims of a racist attack.
The 27-year-old Younes ran straight to the sideline, where he held up a commemorative shirt bearing the name and portrait of Fatih Saraçoglu, one of nine people with immigrant backgrounds killed in a rampage by a gunman in the nearby town of Hanau just over a year ago.
Frankfurt’s players had warmed up for the league game wearing the commemorative tops with “say their names” across the front, and individual victims’ names and faces on the back.
Ferhat Unvar, Hamza Kurtovic, Said Nesar Hashemi, Vili Viorel Paun, Mercedes Kierpacz, Kaloyan Velkov, Sedat Gürbüz, Gökhan Gültekin and Saraçoglu were all remembered, continuing Friday’s commemorations on the anniversary of the killings.
“We wanted to show the faces of the victims. We want to remind people that not forgetting means not letting it happen again,” Frankfurt president Peter Fischer told Sky TV before the game. Younes, who troubled Bayern’s defense in the first half, was involved in one goal, then scored the other as he helped Frankfurt reinvigorate the title race. (AP)
