Moments before the end of the game, Fehér smiled for the last time after having been shown a yellow card from the referee. "It's incredible that something like this happens," said match referee Olegário Benquerença. "I immediately knew something was very wrong when he fell on the pitch and all I could do was call the medical crews of both teams." Nobody in Benfica will ever wear the shirt with the number 29 again. Farewell Miklós, farewell ...
