Germany: Fans and players showed support to Union Berlin player suffering from cancer.

Very emotional match today - A 34-year-old Union player named Banny was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer (Hodgkin's lymphoma). The club extended his contract in a show of support and today fans and players showed banners. The players also stopped the match in minute 7 (his number) and gathered in front of the main stand (where he was sitting) to show support.
