Senegalese star Sadio Mane stole the spotlight again during Bayern Munich's big win over Bochum 7-0 yesterday, Sunday, in the third stage of the German Football League.
In addition to his two-goal brilliance in the Bavarian club, Mane showed his commitment to sportsmanship when he admitted that his goal - after a pass from his colleague Kingsley Coman - came from a handball.
Mane appeared in the clip, indicating that the goal he scored before the end of the first half - when his team was ahead by four - came from a handball, before the referee returned to the video assistant technology (VAR) and canceled the goal.

Mane raised his score to 3 goals in 3 matches with Bayern in the German League, after scoring a double in the 42nd and 60th minutes in the big win for the Bavarian club, which maintained its ideal start on its way to retaining the German League title.
Bayern leads the competition with 9 points from 3 matches, two points ahead of its closest competitors, and scored 15 goals in those confrontations, and the team did not seem affected by the departure of its top scorer Robert Lewandowski towards Barcelona.

"In the first 30 minutes, we wanted the opposition to feel it was going to be a tough match," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said. We tried to consolidate our advantage in the second half."
The Bayern coach added, "The season is still in its infancy, we have dominated our games so far, but there is always an opportunity to improve, every player has performed well, and it will not be easy to choose the starting lineup for the next match."
