'It was everything' - Mabil pays tribute to sister after breakthrough goal

Awer Mabil scored his first goal since the tragic death of his sister in January with the Socceroos attacker revealing a shirt in tribute to her.

After nearly five months without finding the back of the net, Mabil converted a penalty in FC Midtjylland's 4-0 win over Kobenhavn on Monday.

Having lost his sister in a car crash earlier in the year, the Aussie proudly showed off a shirt in her honour with the words: "Thank you for having our backs, love you always little sister."

Emotional scenes.

Off the bench and onto the scoresheet for Socceroo Awer Mabil, who paid tribute to his late sister with this touching goal celebration.
