• Shakhtar Donetsk captain is suspended for one match•
Brazil international reacted to abuse from Dynamo Kiev fans
Football’s world players’ union Fifpro has described the decision to ban the Shakhtar Donetsk captain Taison – for reacting to abuse – as playing into the hands of racists.
Earlier this month, the Brazil international made an offensive gesture towards Dynamo Kiev fans and then kicked the ball into their section of the stand before the referee led all the players off in the 77th minute. The 31-year-old has now been handed a one-match ban by the Ukrainian FA.
