Home fans of Germany’s Preussen Munster football club came together in unison to oust a racist heckler in a match against the Würzburger Kickers.

CNN reports fans united on Sunday to chant "Nazis Out" at an alleged singular fan who made monkey noises at an opposing Black player. The offender was identified and removed from the ground during the closing stages of the match.

The Kickers' Ghanaian defender Leroy Kwadwo stopped mid-match to point out the fan in the Munster home stands. The unidentified fan’s compatriots were not fond of his behavior and made sure team officials knew where he was so he could be removed from the premises. 

The unruly fan has since been arrested, Munster confirmed. Munster team president Christoph Strasser released a statement to CNN in which he condemned the fan’s behavior and said he apologized to the Würzburger side. 

"It is not something that belongs on the soccer field and certainly not in our stadium. We don't want and need people like that here. We clearly distance ourselves from such statements and I apologized to the Würzburgers immediately after the game," he said. 

Following the "Nazis Out" chant, a number of fans stood up to applaud Kwadwo. Players from both teams joined officials and coaches in a display of support for the 23-year-old defender.

In a statement released on his team’s website, Kwadwo revealed how let down he was by the fan’s act but said he considers himself a man of the fans and loves his country. 

"This just makes me sad," he said. "Even though I have a different skin color, I was born here in this wonderful country that has given me and my family so much and made things possible. I am one of you, I live here and I'm able to live out my calling and passion as a professional Würzburger Kickers player.

In another touching show of sportsmanship, in late October, members of the Jordanian female soccer team, Shabab al-Ordon, stopped a match to help a player from the opposite team fix her hijab, as Blavity previously reported. 

The women of the Shabab al-Ordon team gathered around the player as she readjusted her hijab, kneeling on the ground. The crowd applauded the show of sportsmanship, and the match resumed shortly thereafter.
