The touching moment came during the Belgian Second League match.
Goalkeeper Bret Stevens On Saturday, he made his professional debut at Yong Genk. However, a week ago, the 21-year-old had to say goodbye to his father, who passed away after a long illness.
In the match against Lieg, the goalkeeper saved the penalty, after which the fans erupted in loud applause. At the end of the meeting, the player even received a warm hug from the rival team’s fans.
Before the match, a minute of silence also passed. In an interview with Het Nieuwsblad, Stevens said:
When I heard I had been allowed to make my debut, I was happy, but I still had mixed feelings. Dad would love for me to play. What the Lieg players and fans displayed before and after the match exceeded all my expectations. They showed great respect. It shows that in football, everything can be different. Thank you to the people of La Liga.
