Brazil coach Mano Menezes and Scotland's Craig Levein both said they did not see the incident.

The act of banana throwing at black players along with racist slogan spoiled football during the 1970s and '80s. It has mostly been wiped out at high-profile matches but still occurs rarely, especially in Eastern Europe.
