Mohammed Kudus praised referee Pol van Boekel after he decided to not book the Ajax forward for his tribute to the late Christian Atsu.
Atsu’s death was tragically confirmed last week after his body was found beneath the rubble following the devastating earthquakes in Turkey. The Ghana international had played for Hatayspor on the Sunday before the 7.8 magnitude quake hit Turkey and Syria.
The total death toll has now reached more than 46,000 across the two countries, with hundreds of thousands more people left without shelter. Atsu had been reported missing hours after the disastrous event, with search and rescue attempts continuing for more than a week.
