Joshua Kimmich's 14th-minute goal was no ordinary moment as it put Bayern Munich ahead on their way to a 2-1 win over Mainz. Pointing to the sky in memory of his late father, the 31-year-old midfielder could not hide his emotions. Back in action for the 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund after missing three matches, he proved decisive on an afternoon when the emotion came pouring out.
"I don't score many goals. After this one, I obviously immediately thought of him, so I was definitely more emotional than I otherwise would have been," Kimmich said after receiving the player of the match award. "I think I'm going to send it to my mother. The last one was for my father, and this one is now for my mother."
