Joãozinho - about the banana thrown at Wendel: Throwing such delicious food is bad

FC Sochi Brazilian midfielder Joãozinho commented on the incident with a banana thrown from the stands at the match of the 1/4 finals of the Russian Cup playoffs between Volga and Zenit.

The meeting was held on February, 25 in Ulyanovsk and ended with a victory of the St. Petersburg club Zenit with a score of 3-0. During injury time one of the fans threw a banana at Zenit's Brazilian midfielder Wendel who was leaving the pitch during substitution.

Joãozinho, quoted by Sport24
The person who threw the banana at Wendel should be ashamed of his action. We live in a modern world where it doesn't matter what color you are, where you come from or what your religion is. Besides, it's bad to throw delicious food.

It was reported that Volga could be fined from $2,600 to $2,600 thousand. Also, the team risks spending up to three matches without spectators.

Earlier, former Celta midfielder Alexandr Mostovoy in an interview with "Chempionat" edition called the incident in Ulyanovsk a disgrace and called to punish the fan who committed this act.
