The control committee of the German Football Association (DFB) reacted to the racist incidents during the second division game between Hamburger SV and Fortuna Düsseldorf (1: 1) and will "initiate investigations".

The association said this in a statement on Monday.

In the game in the Volksparkstadion, players from both teams were racially insulted on Saturday evening.

The former HSV and current Fortuna professional Khaled Narey was particularly affected.

There should also have been insults against Bakéry Jatta from HSV, as HSV viewers had confirmed.

The HSV had already condemned the racist failures on Sunday and announced investigations.

The incidents were unacceptable and had "no place either in the Volksparkstadion or in our society," wrote the HSV via Twitter.

The club emphasized that HSV stands for diversity and will do "everything we can" to "clarify and punish the incidents."

The people of Düsseldorf also condemned the incidents "in the strongest possible way."

They therefore hoped "that HSV will succeed in clearing up the incidents as quickly as possible," reported the "kicker".

Narey as the main victim had thanked the majority of the supporters for the "warm welcome", as the 27-year-old former HSV player wrote on Instagram.

"All 'fans' who racially insulted me during the game and threw beer at me," said the newcomer from Düsseldorf, on the other hand, wishing "a speedy recovery."
