The South Korean scored the penalty that equalised for Wolves, but at least one Farense fan behind the goal directed a racist gesture at Hwang.

He seemed to report the incident to the referee and captain Conor Coady, but no action was taken at the time.

Wolves have since released a statement, seen below, condemning the incident and confirming that they will report it to UEFA and have called for an investigation.
