FC Twente are launching an investigation to find out if Ajax striker Brian Brobbey was racially abused on Sunday, after the final game of the season. A video of Ajax midfielder Steven Berghuis throwing a punch at a supporter circulated on social media after the match. The regional newspaper, Tubantia, then wrote that the motive behind the attack was a racist remark made towards Brobbey. Twente will now assess whether this was the case.
Ajax lost 3-1 to FC Twente away from home on Sunday afternoon. The result meant that Ajax finished the season in third place, missing out on Champions League football for next season.
