Call for the red and black striker, Daku is attacked by Zenit fans

A scandal breaks out in Russia. Mirlind Daku is attacked by Zenit fans. The incident occurred on August 12 in St. Petersburg during the second round of the group stage of the Russian Cup.

“The RFU Control and Disciplinary Committee will examine the episode of offensive chants by Zenit St. Petersburg fans directed at Rubin Kazan striker Mirlind Daku,” the head of the committee, Artur Grigoryants, told RIA Novosti. The incident occurred on August 12 in St. Petersburg, in the second round of the group stage of the Russian Cup “RPL”, in which Zenit defeated Rubin 3-0.

Mirlind Daku, the striker of the Kazan team, scored a goal, but it was canceled after the intervention of VAR. In the summer, Zenit showed interest in transferring the Albanian striker, but the deal did not materialize and Rubin extended the contract of the 27-year-old footballer.

"In the Zenit-Rubin match, we will examine the repeated massive cheers with offensive expressions by the home team fans, directed at the away team's striker, Mirlind Daku," said Artur Grigoryants. The meeting will take place on August 20./BW
