Big fright on Sunday for Taiwo Awoniyi. The Nigerian striker almost lost his life in the Bundesliga match opposing his team, Mainz, to Augsburg.

Just 20 minutes into the game, Awoniyi collapsed after a violent head-to-head clash with Felix Uduokhai. The Nigerian stayed motionless on the ground. His teammates were panicking around him. We could see the referee, Marco Fritz putting his fingers into his throat to hold his tongue.

When he recovered consciousness, the player under contract with Liverpool is evacuated to hospital by the doctors. A few hours later, Awoniyi could give news. Nevertheless, he remained under observation in the hospital. More scared than hurt.

Bad afternoon for the player. His club Mainz could not get back to the score after the early goal of Augsburg. They Lost 0-1.
