Chennai City allege Katsumi Yusa was racially abused by referee
"I think the federation must investigate the decision he [Weerakkody] made today. So, I don't know what happened where our Japanese player was sent off. The referee made a racist remark," said Chennai assistant coach Satyasagara, addressing the media after the game. According to Satyasagara, the referee's comments moved the midfielder to tears.
"The referee made a racist remark, calling him 'China'. He was emotionally down, and when he went to the dressing room, he cried. Katsumi, some of you know, the Japanese are very disciplined, emotional people and he (the referee) shouldn't have done that."
Satyasagara said that Chennai were contemplating withdrawing from the match after Katsumi was given the marching orders around the half-hour mark, after which play was held up for about 12 minutes.
"Because of our foreign players and [because] we wanted to play, to satisfy the organisation, we decided to play on."
"I think these two red cards we got were because of the referee. He directly influenced the game, I don't know why," said Satyasagara. "The Bangladesh team are a good team, they played against Kerala and they fought well. We appreciate the team.
"For me, it's not about the opposition, this is about the referee and how he disrupted the game."
A BFF spokesman said they would take a decision after analysing the match report in due course, but the AFC appointed match commissioner declined to make any comments.
