BERLIN – A first-round German Cup match between Schalke 04 and hosts Lokomotive Leipzig was halted on Aug. 17 after visiting winger Christopher Antwi-Adjei alleged racial abuse from home fans.
The match, which finished 1-0 to Schalke after Bryan Lasme’s extra-time winner, was suspended for almost five minutes after Antwi-Adjei, 31, informed the referee he was racially abused by spectators.
An announcement condemning racist abuse was made in the stadium. After the match resumed, the winger was booed repeatedly by the home fans.
Speaking after the match, Antwi-Adjei said: “I don’t want to name the words that were spoken. I’m not the type of person who goes home and cries, but I find it disappointing you still hear this on the pitch these days.
“I signaled to the linesman that something had happened. It’s the least I could do. I’m a normal person. This is not appropriate.”
