Referee assists Bundesliga player
According to TheSun, Josuha Guilavogui expresses gratitude on social media, saying, “Thank you very much for the quick intervention and the help provided, Patrick Ittrich, my teammates, and the doctors at Mainz!” Ittrich modestly responds, “You just have to act quickly, there’s no praise for it.”
In the match, Mainz endured an 8-1 defeat with Harry Kane scoring three goals. However, due to Bundesliga rules, it didn’t qualify as a hat-trick.
In German football, a “true hat-trick” requires scoring three goals consecutively in the same half with no other player scoring in between.
Despite Kane’s remarkable performance, the hat-trick wasn’t officially recognized. Nonetheless, Kane expressed his satisfaction, stating, “Perfect afternoon! Gotta keep this momentum up.”
The resounding 8-1 victory brings Bayern Munich within seven points of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
England captain Harry Kane further enhances his outstanding season, reaching an impressive tally of 36 goals in 34 matches.
