Tokyo Olympics 2020: Germany football team walk off in friendly game after racist abuse

In a shocking development, the Germany men's Olympic football team left the pitch five minutes before the end of their warm-up game against Honduras in Wakayama, Japan on Saturday after defender Jordan Torunarigha was allegedly racially abused. The game, played behind closed doors in three 30-minute periods, was tied at 1-1 at the time of the incident, which the Honduras national team said was a misunderstanding.

"The game has ended 5 minutes early with the score at 1-1. The Germany players left the pitch after Jordan Torunarigha was racially abused," the national team said on Twitter. Germany's Olympic soccer coach and former international Stefan Kuntz added on Twitter: "When one of our players is racially abused, playing on is not an option. "Germany begin their Olympic Group D campaign against Brazil on July 22, while Honduras will take on Romania in their Group B opener.
