Club World Cup in the USA
According to the allegation of racism: FIFA investigates against Rüdiger opponents
Football player Antonio Rüdiger raises racism allegations against an opponent during his comeback at the club World Cup. The World Association FIFA is acting.
According to racism allegations by soccer player Antonio Rüdiger against his opponent at the Club World Cup in the USA, the FIFA has investigated. As the World Association announced on DPA request, the disciplinary commission has initiated a procedure against Gustavo Cabral from the Mexican Club CF Pachuca after evaluating the game report.
Real Madrid professional Rüdiger accused his opponent in the group game against Pachuca a racist insult last Sunday. The game was briefly interrupted in added time due to the incident.
“We stand behind Toni and will see what happens. The FIFA protocol is activated and we support him,” Real’s coach Xabi Alonso said after the 3-1 win. “This is unacceptable and we believe what he said. The incident is currently being examined.”
Referee shows gesture for racism protocol
In the added time of the game, Rüdiger argued with Pachucas Cabral. Then the angry DFB defense chief talked to referee Ramon Abatti, who then crossed his two arms in front of his upper body.
This is the sign in a multi -stage protocol of the World Association FIFA that the referee either noticed a racist incident or was reported to him. He is responsible for the decision as to whether the game is interrupted or not. After a short break, the game was brought to Charlotte.
Opponent: I said “coward”
Cabral rejected the allegation after the game. “There was nothing racist. I called him a damn coward, as we say in Argentina. This is all,” said the 39 -year -old Argentinian media reports. He used the expression “Cagón de Mierda”.
Rüdiger gave his comeback in the game after a knee operation at the end of April and was substituted in the 78th minute. With four points from two games, Real has not yet reached the round of 16 at the club World Cup. In the last group game, the night of Friday (MESZ) is against the tied RB Salzburg. The pointless Mexicans of Pachuca meet Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia, but can no longer reach the round of 16.
