(Reuters) - An English FA Cup fourth qualifying round match between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town was abandoned on Saturday due to the alleged racist abuse suffered by Haringey's players.

The match was stopped in the 64th minute with Yeovil leading 1-0 following a Rhys Murphy penalty after some fans abused and spat at Cameroonian goalkeeper Douglas Pajetat at Coles Park, the BBC reported.

"It's very distressing. The abuse a few of my players got was disgusting," Loizou told BBC Radio 5 live."They got a penalty and as they were lining up to take it, my goalkeeper got spat at and had a bottle thrown at him. "The FA Cup's not worth that much to us. We are never going to win it. Good luck to Yeovil Town if we get punished and thrown out, all be it, I don't care.""The players and I decided we would support and make a stand together... I want Haringey and our football club to know we don't condone anything of that nature," Sarll said.
