It what has historically been a show of racism, Alves calmly scoffed at the offending move, picked up the banana, took a bite of it and took his corner kick.
Alves 1. Racism 0.
Alves on the banana incident: "I've been here 11 years and I've been suffering this the whole time, so I just face it with humour".
