Dutch footballer Memphis Depay has hit out at racist fans after yet another foul incident caused a football game to be stopped on Sunday.
In a match between FC Den Bosch and Excelsior, striker Ahmad Mendes Moreira felt he was receiving racist abuse from supporters of the home side.
His team-mates were quick to rush and comfort him, as the referee temporarily halted the match.
'I'm sick and tired to see these images over and over!' Tweeted an angry Depay. 'When is it going to stop!!? #SayNoToRacism.'
He also tagged the Dutch football association and UEFA in the tweet, adding: 'What we doing to do? Specially with the upcoming Euro 2020?'
A number of racist incidents have hit the headlines this year, with calls for national football associations and UEFA to clamp down on it with more effectiveness.
The referee stopped the match after 28 minutes after receiving the complaints, and the teams briefly left the field.
Moreira was able to get some small revenge on the supporters when the match restarted, scoring a goal in the 44th minute.
He celebrated in front of the fans, cupping his hands to his ears before being congratulated by the rest of his team. He also held a finger up to his lips in an act of defiance.
The match eventually ended 3-3.
FC Den Bosch issued a statement shortly after the match: 'Let one thing be clear; FC Den Bosch distances itself from everything that has to do with this and acts strongly against stadium visitors who are guilty of this.'
