The Brazil FA vowed to fight 'racism and prejudice' last night after Richarlison had a banana thrown at him from the stands in his country's 5-1 friendly win over Tunisia in Paris.
The Tottenham forward was celebrating having put Brazil 2-1 in front at the Parc des Princes when a banana was thrown at his feet.
Prior to the game, five-time world champions Brazil team had posed for photographs with an anti-racism banner which read, 'Without our black players, we wouldn't have stars on our shirts'.
The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) later issued a statement on the Richarlison incident via Twitter.
It read: 'Unfortunately a banana was thrown on the pitch towards Richarlison, scorer of the second Brazilian goal.
'The CBF reinforces its position to combat racism and repudiates any manifestation of prejudice.'
The 25-year-old had scored his seventh goal in six matches for Brazil this year, responding after Tunisia's Montassar Talbi had cancelled out Raphinha's opening goal.
Neymar made it 3-1 from the penalty spot and Raphinha added his second before half-time. Flamengo striker Pedro completed the scoring in the 75th minute.
