Players on both teams took a stance against an alleged instance of racism from the Romanian fourth official, who reportedly referred to assistant coach Pierre Webo by his skin colour. The players took a stand against the reported racism by exiting the pitch, leading to the match to be suspended.

"What a shame in Paris. 4th ref said “the black guy” when indicating to the ref who should be booked on Istanbul’s bench."Istanbul Basaksehir walks off the pitch for racism. “Why you call him black man?!”, Istanbul players are literally furious." A member of the Başakşehir management team was heard audibly asking the match official why they used the alleged racist language, while Demba Ba was also seen taking a firm stance.

It's important that we do everything in both the sport and wider society to stamp out division when the beautiful game should and always will champion the virtues of unity. The arch has been suspended and no date of rematch is been fixed yet
