Lyon and Zenit to be reported for ´incidents of racism´

Lyon and Zenit will be reported to UEFA after “incidents of racism” at their Europa League matches on Thursday, Fare has announced.

Fare – an organisation driven to combat discrimination in sport – confirmed on Friday that they would be submitting reports to European football’s governing body following the second-leg ties.

Lyon’s home clash with CSKA Moscow ended 3-2 to the Russian side, CSKA going through on away goals after the tie finished 3-3 on aggregate.

Meanwhile in St Petersburg, Zenit drew 1-1 with RB Leipzig, a result that was enough to send the Bundesliga side into the quarter finals 3-2.

Fare will be submitting reports to @UEFA after incidents of racism involving #Zenit and #Lyon supporters during last nights #UEL matches.
