Spanish FA backs Zozulya

The Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE) has expressed support for Albacete forward Roman Zozulya after his side’s game against Rayo Vallecano was abandoned on Sunday due to offensive chanting by the home fans, who accused the Ukrainian of being a Nazi.

Spanish radio station Cadena Ser reported that Rayo fans sang “Zozulya you are a Nazi” and used offensive language towards the striker who had a short-lived spell at the club in 2017.
