After reviewing the referee’s report about the racism row involving between Real Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger and Puchuca’s Gustavo Cabral, FIFA has concluded that the situation is far from clear-cut because of lack of clarity.
According to Marca (via Madrid Universal), FIFA’s investigation into the incident remains inconclusive.
FIFA had launched a formal investigation into the matter follow Real Madrid’s 3-1 win against Pachuca.
However, the exchange between Rudiger and Cabral took place directly, without the presence of a visual evidence or clear audio.
As a result, FIFA has found it challenging to decide with full certainty whether a racist insult was made against Rudiger or not.
Meanwhile, speaking after the game, Cabral claimed he called Rudiger “chickens”.
He, however, denied racially abusing the Germany defender during the encounter.
