A professional football match in Germany was abandoned after racist abuse aimed at a player from an individual in the stands.

Duisburg welcomed Osnabruck to MSV-Arena for their clash in the 3.Liga.

The game was halted in the first half when a racist comment from from the stands was directed at Osnabruck winger Aaron Opoku.

The home fans chanted ‘Nazis Out’ as they joined in solidarity with the player who had been abused.

Michael Welling, Osnabruck’s CEO, revealed after the game that Opoku did not want to resume the game and his teammates understood his decision.

He said: “Aaron [Opoku] wasn’t in a position to continue playing after the incident. He couldn’t carry on, nor would he have wanted to. The team recognised that and expressed their solidarity.

“We don’t want to print anti-racism on T-shirts or just brand around slogans. If you really take this seriously, then you have to act accordingly.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
