Ghana goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi was a victim of racial abuse when FC St. Gallen faced FC Lugano on Saturday.

Ati-Zigi was hooted at and suffered racist chants from the Lugano fans in the Swiss League fixture at the Cornaredo stadium.

St. Gallen lost the match with a 1-0 scoreline.

Lugano reported the unwarranted incident on their Twitter page and have assured the perpetrators would be identified and brought to book.

They wrote on Twitter:

"Some spectators would have inadequately addressed the guest goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi,"

"The company "will do everything possible to identify those responsible"."
