A significant incident happened in the Spanish 3rd division, the Primera Federación, with [Rayo Majadahonda](https://x.com/Viet_Ala_Yugu/status/1774415722795377012?s=20) walking off the pitch in their game against Sestao, when they were trailing 2-1 in the game.

The cause of the walk off has been identified as a racist insult against goalkeeper Cheikh Kane Sarr. He sought the fan in the stands before abandoning the game, and has now provided a description to the police regarding the matter too.

Sarr’s case has been backed up by club captain Jorge Casado, who told The Athletic that he had proof regarding the racist insults against the 23-year-old.

Sestao have also published a statement regarding the matter, condemning the racist abuse. Similar situations have taken place in the top flight too, with [Vinicius Jr](https://technosports.co.in/vinicius-jr-racist-abuse-real-madrid-complaint/) being the most common target for opposition fans.

It now seems that the Brazilian’s efforts have started a movement against racism on all fronts. And with action against the offenders, the division can reinforce its stance against such abuse.
