Poland youth international Fabian Bzdyl reproduced Felix Nmecha’s controversial goal celebration during his side’s match against Germany.
After finding the net, Bzdyl appeared to remove an imaginary crown from his head before placing it on the pitch. The gesture is used by Ballers in God, an evangelical network founded by a former footballer 11 years ago.
Borussia Dortmund and Germany midfielder Nmecha previously faced strong criticism for making the same gesture. He was subsequently required to explain that it did not represent discrimination or an attempt to demonstrate superiority.
Bzdyl’s goal was not enough to earn Poland a result, with Germany winning the match 2-1.
