This was reported by the Football 1 TV channel.
The incident occurred in the second half of the Poltava match between Vorskla and Chornomorets. According to Poltava midfielder Artem Gromov, the Odessa player made a racist statement.
“I would like to say something about this conflict. The 7th number of “Chernomorets” (under which Dmitry Korkishko played) allowed himself to say to Tursunov that he was “black”. To be honest, this is very unpleasant. You should be confiscated for this. Yes, Tursunov got angry there, but you can’t say that,” Gromov said.
Let us remind you that the 28-year-old football player of the Uzbekistan national team Sanzhar Tursunov has been playing for Vorskla since last summer, and the 25-year-old Dynamo Kyiv student Dmitry Korkishko moved from FC Poltava to Chernomorets during this championship.
As is known, the UEFA Disciplinary Committee and the Control and Ethics Committee decided to appoint an inspector to further investigate the facts of racism and security violations at the NSC Olimpiyskiy.
