Ghana winger Christopher Antwi-Adjei was subjected to racist abuse during Schalke 04\u2019s DFB-Pokal first-round clash against Lokomotive Leipzig on Sunday. <\/p>\n

The incident occurred in the 13th minute when the 31-year-old moved to the touchline to take a throw-in. <\/p>\n

At least one home supporter is reported to have directed racist insults at him, prompting the referee to halt play briefly for a stadium announcement.<\/p>\n

Instead of support, sections of the home crowd booed Antwi-Adjei every time he touched the ball until the final whistle, a reaction Schalke described as \u201cutterly incomprehensible and disappointing.\u201d <\/p>\n

The player later filed a complaint with police, who have opened investigations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very disappointing to still have to experience something like this today. It should not happen. I hope this person thinks again about their words,\u201d Antwi-Adjei said.<\/p>\n

Schalke\u2019s sporting director Frank Baumann said: \u2018We condemn this behaviour in the strongest terms and hope the perpetrator will be identified. Schalke stands firmly at Christopher\u2019s side.\u2019<\/p>\n

Head coach Miron Muslic stressed the seriousness of the incident, saying: \u201cWe cannot just put this aside. The entire stadium sensed what happened, yet they booed him. That is not the act of one individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schalke reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to fighting racism and promoting tolerance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
