Football scandal between 'Go Ahead Eagles' and 'Stuttgart'
Forward of 'Go Ahead Eagles' Viktor Edvardsen received a monetary fine for unsportsmanlike gestures towards 'Stuttgart' midfielder Angelo Stillers during a Europa League game. This was reported by 'Glavcom'.
The German footballer was born with a cleft palate and has a distinctive nose shape that affects his appearance.
Public apologies and fine for Edvardsen
During the game, Edvardsen made dishonest gestures related to Stillers' nose. The club fined the player 500 euros, which will go towards funding social projects.
After the match, where Edvardsen's team lost to 'Stuttgart' 0:4, he personally apologized to Stiller.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my behavior. There were things said and done between us that have no place on the football field. I am a role model and should act accordingly
The club's general manager condemned the player's actions: 'We are absolutely dissatisfied with Viktor's behavior and distance ourselves from it. It is good that he apologized after the match, but it still leaves a stain on this evening.'
