An FA Cup qualifying match between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town was abandoned after allegations that players were racially abused and spat on.
The players of seventh-tier outfit Haringey walked off the field on Saturday with about 25 minutes to go, shortly after Yeovil had scored a penalty.
The incident during the match in the fourth qualifying round came just five days after England players endured racist abuse during their Euro 2020 qualifier against Bulgaria in Sofia.
Haringey manager Tom Loizou said defender Coby Rowe suffered racial abuse while Cameroonian goalkeeper Douglas Pajetat was also spat at, prompting him to take his players off the pitch.
"Early into the second half, we got a corner and a couple of the players said to me there was monkey chants," Loizou told Sky News.
"We got over that, we carried on playing. They got a penalty and my goalkeeper was spat at and had missiles thrown at him.
"The referee halted the game briefly, they scored the penalty, one of players went to pick the ball out of the back of the net and Coby Rowe was racially abused."
"I can't sit down and watch young players being abused by a minority."
Rowe later posted on Twitter: "Can't believe I'm tweeting this and it's 2019 but today I was a victim of racism, in what was supposed to be a great day for @HaringeyBoroFC. Another game of football ruined by racists."
- 'Matter of urgency' -
=======================
"Irrespective of the outcome of any investigations, we would like to make it clear that the club will not accept racism or discrimination in any form."
