1. FC Koeln's first victory of the season was completely overshadowed by Ümit Özat's sickening collapse. The medical staff were quickly on the scene, but there were serious worries about his safety as he had swallowed his tongue.
Thankfully, it has since been confirmed that he is in stable condition and recovering well in a Karlsruhe hospital.
"In the hospital I saw Umit the fighter again, who would like nothing more than jumping out of the bed and back on to the football field," said Cologne coach Christoph Daum.
"The first thing that he asked me was about the result of the game and was more concerned with the team than his health situation.
"As for the victory and the strong performance of the team, that's something I can only get excited about once Umit is back on the field."
