Dutch soccer player comforted the referee, who cried on the field because of the death of his mother

The defender of the English "Liverpool" and the national team of the Netherlands Virgil Van Dyck committed a noble deed after the game of the 6th round of the League of Nations against Germany.

The 27-year-old Orange player decided to support the chief arbiter of the meeting, Ovidiu Hacegana, who recently lost his mother.

The player approached the referee and hugged him like a father. Romanian referee at that time could not hold back tears. "He said that his mother died some time ago. He was upset and began to cry. I consoled him and told him that he had well judged the match.. This, of course, is a trifle, but I hope I helped at least with something, "said Van Dyke after the match.

Note that the meeting itself ended with the score 2: 2, and Van Dyck became a real hero for his team, because it was his ball at the last minute that brought the Netherlands a draw and a start in the League of Nations playoffs.

On the account of Van Dyck all four matches for the national team in the group of the League of Nations.
