Ghana international goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi endured racial abuse during St Gallen's match against FC Lugano at the weekend.
According to Ghanasoccernet, Ati-Zigi experienced racial slurs being hurled at him by the Lugano fans at the Cornaredo stadium.
Lugano immediately took to social media to condemn the abuse and affirmed that the fans responsible will be dealt with accordingly.
In un primo tempo le immagini lasciavano pensare ad un episodio di razzismo. Ulteriori verifiche hanno però smentito questa ipotesi. https://t.co/zlO1SrBs5J
