We had a great and touching moment in the danish Super League last sunday after Awer converted a penalty and scored his first goal after the loss of Bor.

The Kid showed his emotions, was in tears and surroundede by all his teammates. This goal was not just a typical goal. That meant everything for Awer.

Afterwards he showed this t-shirt to honour his sister:
