Michy Batshuayi Dedicates His Goal

In the 54th minute, Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi headed in the game’s only goal. Initially forgetting the tribute, it was Victor Osimhen who reminded him of the banner in the stands honoring Yiğit. Batshuayi then approached the display and dedicated his goal to the young fan, making a heartfelt gesture by touching the tifo.
