Nicolas Jackson Nets First Bundesliga Goal for Bayern With 'Fokzo' Tribute in Leverkusen Win

Coach Vincent Kompany's recent defense of the Chelsea loanee looked justified by his display.

Overview

  • Jackson started at the Allianz Arena and scored in the first half of Bayern’s 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
  • After scoring, he lifted his shirt at the corner flag to reveal the message “RIP my Bro Fokzo.”
  • Reports identified “Fokzo” as Fokzo Sané, a Senegalese influencer who recently died and was described as likely a friend of Jackson.
  • Kompany had praised Jackson’s integration and work, pointing to strong spells against Dortmund, Paphos and Brugge as signs of progress.
  • The forward was substituted after 58 minutes to standing ovations, with Harry Kane entering as his replacement.
