Football|The Russian media highlighted the “Russian hatred smoldering in the West”.
Finns the media have reported on the racist shouting that was heard on Thursday evening in Turku during the Ykkösliiga match between TPS and Jaro. A song was heard mocking the Russians from the supporters’ stand of Turku people.
Turku Sanomat by a few supporters chanted “ruska kurwa ale ale ao”, the first two words of which refer to a “Russian whore”.
The match was stopped and seven people were removed from the stands after security checks.
