Zenit St Petersburg forward Hulk has said he was the victim of racist abuse during his side's Russian Premier League encounter at Spartak Moscow on Saturday.
The 29 year-old Brazilian was seen blowing kisses towards the home fans during injury time and he later explained why he decided to make the gesture.
"Unfortunately, the same things are happening - racism in the stands," Zenit's official website quoted Hulk as saying.
"I won't pay any attention to this, as I have already talked about this.
"Therefore, I will continue to blow kisses and answer them with the way I play on the pitch. These things don't even deserve to be discussed."
It is not the first time that Hulk has complained of racist abuse this year.
In March, during a match with Torpedo Moscow he was racially abused by the home fans. The side from the Russian capital were sanctioned and made to play two matches behind closed doors.
Hulk has also claimed racist comments are made by spectators at almost every match played in Russia and he fears racism could mar the 2018 World Cup finals in the country.
Saturday's match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Hulk scoring one of the goals. It was his sixth goal of the season, which made him the leading goalscorer in the league.
Zenit are currently in third place and trail leaders CSKA Moscow by eight points, while Spartak are fourth in the table, a point behind Zenit.
