The Ukrainian midfielder Taison of Ukrainian champion Schachtar Donetsk has been sent off in the Premier League top game with a red card after being apparently racially insulted by fans of Dynamo Kiev.
On video footage can be seen how the 31-year-old shot the ball in the direction of the Dynamo fans and showed them the middle finger. The referee then interrupted the game for a few minutes. When the players returned to the field, Taison apparently got the red card for his reaction (77th minute). Both Taison and his Brazilian compatriot Dentinho then burst into tears.
