Augsburg (Germany): In a first, a Bundesliga match between Mainz and Augsburg came to a halt last week, a move by referee Matthias Jollenbeck in the 65th minute, to allow Mainz defender Moussa Niakhate to break his fast during Ramzan. 26-year-old Niakhate has been observing fast, the nine month of Islamic calender, where individuals don't eat/drink during daylight. This was the first time that a German match came to a stop for a player to break his/her fast.

Niakhate was seen drinking, presumptively water or a sports drink, from two bottles while having a conversation with Mainz goalkeeper Robin Zentner. He then thanked the referee for allowing him to break his fast and refresh himself during the match. Niakhate was seen running to the referee, Jollenbeck, for a handshake.

In der vorigen Woche wurde erstmals ein Bundesligaspiel unterbrochen, damit ein muslimischer Spieler kurz nach Sonnenuntergang sein Fasten während des Ramadans brechen konnte. Ein Beispiel, das Schule machen könnte.
