The event happened in February at the amateur mini-football tournament “XXXX” at the XXXX complex in Sofia.
Our team “XXXX” played against the “YYYY”. The main striker in our team is XXXX, who is Nigerian but has been living in Bulgaria for several years.
During the second half of the match, XXXX was fouled several times in a short time, which was not typical for our matches until then.
In one of the last fouls, the goalkeeper of the opposing team left his field, got into a fight and started insulting him on racial grounds.
The game was interrupted for several minutes.
The goalkeeper was furious and difficult to tame by his and our team but eventually received a red card. We finished the match with a player more and won, but a bitter memory of the opposing player’s action remained.
