Thorns goalkeeper Adrianna Franch posted a tweet Sunday in response to a racist incident involving a fan that happened during Friday's game between Portland and the Royals.
According to Jamie Goldberg of The Oregonian, fans took to social media during the 1-0 win for Utah on Friday, saying they heard racist comments being directed at Franch.
Both teams responded to the incident Saturday on Twitter and said they would be investigating the situation.
We are aware of the allegations of racist fan language during last night’s match and are continuing our investigation of the incident.
