The third division soccer game between MSV Duisburg and VfL Osnabrück was canceled by referee Nicolas Winter when the score was 0-0.
The reason was a racist remark from the ranks.
What happened?
It was in the 33rd minute of the game when suddenly a whistle rang out.
Referee Winter had initially interrupted the game and sent the teams to the dressing rooms.
While the fans in the stadium waited for the game to continue, both camps chanted "Nazis out", according to the clubs, and the arena director played "Scream for Love" by the band Die Ärzte.
According to VfL, the insult was directed against striker Aaron Opoku, who had just shot a free kick for Osnabrück just over the goal.
Around 30 minutes after the interruption, it was announced that the game would not restart.
“The game was interrupted, and rightly so.
The so-called fan has been identified and is now being brought out.
The sporting directors are in the referee's cabin and discuss how to proceed, «MSV spokesman Martin Haltermann is quoted later on Twitter.
