I Hurt My Family, I Responded to Him in His Language: Spersyan

During the 11th round match of the Russian Premier League between "Krasnodar" and "Akhmat," an incident occurred between Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spersyan and Akhmat defender Usman Ndong. Ndong received a red card for hitting Spersyan with his shoulder and injuring his lip. The Krasnodar player was issued a yellow card for provocative behavior.

After the match, Ndong told "Match TV" that Spersyan made a racist comment towards him, saying in Portuguese "black dung." However, Spersyan denied the allegations, asserting the opposite. "That did not happen. He has just come into the RPL and does not know me or the league. Throughout the entire game, he was provoking me. I understand a little Spanish. He was the first to say to me, ‘La concha tu madre’ (the translation of which is widely known as an insult towards one’s mother). I responded to him in his language, ‘Cala boca,’ which means ‘shut up.’ How could I say such a thing, even in any language? I would never say anything like that to anyone. All the players who were beside me heard everything," Spersyan stated.
