Daniel Kyereh plays down abuse by Karlsruher fans

Ghana says Daniel Kyereh says 'it is not an issue' after he was abused on Saturday by Karlsruher fans.

Kyereh was on target as St Pauli defeated Karlsruher 3-1 in a German Bundesliga II encounter but the game was marred by the unfortunate incident.

Karlsruher fans acknowledged the air show not only with angry whistles, smelly fingers and abuse. Numerous beer mugs also flew in the direction of the jubilant St. Pauli grape on the lawn.

Asked about the mug thrown at him, he responded, "Not an issue at all."
