The Sunday game between Mainz and its guest Augsburg witnessed a serious injury to Mainz player Taiwo Uni, which forced doctors to transfer him quickly to the hospital.
The Nigerian Oni rose to catch a high ball inside the opponent's defense area, and shot his head towards the goal in the 16th minute, but he collided with the head of the opposing team's defender, and he fell to the ground.
The player caused panic among the players of both teams because he did not move after his fall, and did not show any reaction to his colleagues' attempts to communicate with him.
The loaned player from Liverpool did not respond to his resuscitation attempts by the Mainz medical team, which required his urgent transfer to the hospital.
Awoniyi sempat mendapatkan peluang bagi Mainz untuk menyamakan kedudukan namun sundulannya masih melebar, ia justru bertabrakan dengan Uduokhai dan harus ditarik keluar.
