New York Red Bulls forward Dante Vanzeir has apologised after making a racist remark at a San Jose Earthquakes player on Saturday.
The incident occurred during a game between the two sides, where a melee led to a lengthy stoppage and 20 minutes of added time at the end of the match. In the aftermath, San Jose star Jeremy Ebobisse said he heard a racist remark - and footage showed both sets of players pushing Vanzeir away from the scuffle.
Vanzier and his manager, Gerhard Struber, have since released statements after the incident. The striker admitted he made a "mistake", while Struber revealed he should have taken him off straight away.
