One more episode of racism in Italian football, this time at Picco stadium di La Spezia. Towards the end of the first half, referee Guida suspended the game for about a couple of minutes due to the racist slurs addressed from the stands to the Croatian coach of Torino Ivan Yuric.
The Spezia captain also intervened to try to calm the local fans, Emmanuel gyasi, and other players in the ranks of the Ligurians. It is not the first time that insults of this type have been directed at Picco towards opposing players, in particular it had also happened towards the Serbian player of Juventus Filip Kostic.
The match at the Picco ended with a large victory for Turin, who beat 4-0 lo Spezia, significantly complicating the race salvation of the black and whites. Semplici's men remain in 17th place, +1 on Verona: the Scaligeri, in case of victory tomorrow, would overtake the Ligurians with one day to go.
