The moment of his injury was lost in the noise in the Weser Stadion as the 40,000 fans in the stadium celebrated. Werder faced off against their direct competitor in the relegation battle, Stuttgart, on matchday 32. Yatabaré powered down the right-wing after about half-an-hour and crossed the ball into the box, where Baba turned the ball into his own goal. The Mali international managed to injure himself so badly putting in the cross that he had to be substituted and missed the rest of the season. The diagnosis was a muscle strain.
