It came after Brazil had begun the match by entering the field without stars on their shirts, an anti-racism gesture that sought to highlight the contribution black players have made to their considerable footballing successes as a nation.
“CBF reinforces its position to combat racism and repudiates any prejudiced manifestation,” read a statement from the Brazilian federation.
