Racist doors opened.

On Saturday evening, the match between "Udinese" and "AC Milan" was briefly interrupted due to racist insults from the home fans towards Milan's goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

After regaining composure, the French goalkeeper decided to return to the match, and "AC Milan" eventually dramatically defeated Udinese 3:2.

After the match, Udinese identified 4 men who were mocking M. Maignan's skin color, and banned them for life from attending the stadium. By the way, one of those 4 men was black.

The next day, FIFA president Gianni Infantino proposed the idea of suspending matches when such incidents occur. However, this idea was met with mixed reactions due to the potential misuse of the rules for one's advantage.
