Just a few days earlier, in an incident that also drew significant media attention and condemnation, a spectator hurling racial abuse at a Sudanese-born player was escorted from the ground and banned from attending future matches unless he undertook racism-awareness education.
而就在几天之前，在一件同样引发媒体高度关注和谴责的事件中，一名观众对一位苏丹裔运动员发表了种族主义言论，结果当场被警卫带离比赛现场，而对他的判罚则是除非接受关于反种族主义意识的教育，否则终身禁止入场。
