  "account": "Borussia Mönchengladbach's young star Wael Mohya has apologized to VfB Stuttgart supporters for a provocative goal celebration during Friday's 3-2 Bundesliga win. Speaking to BILD after the match, the 17-year-old admitted to deliberately celebrating in front of Stuttgart fans and regretting his actions. Mohya played a crucial role in helping Gladbach end their six-match losing streak, scoring a goal and setting up Shuto Machino's 51st-minute effort. He then celebrated in front of the Stuttgart supporters' section, which provoked an angry reaction from the home fans. Mohya acknowledged that the celebration was both deliberate and inappropriate, but admitted it was a stupid mistake fueled by his emotions. This incident follows another contentious celebration involving Gladbach earlier this month against 1. FC Köln, where Joe Scally celebrated his equalizer in front of Köln supporters, which was also deemed inappropriate. Mohya's apology comes after an outstanding performance, earning him the GGFN's Bundesliga Player of the Match award and a rating of eight out of ten.",
