    Fans of the Polish soccer team GKS Katowice appeared to do the Nazi salute toward supporters of the Israeli club Hapoel Tel Aviv when the teams competed against each other in the UEFA Conference League on Wednesday.

    The Israeli Premier League team beat GKS Katowice 2-1 in the match at Stadium Katovice in Poland, eliminating the Polish team from the tournament. After the game ended, several upset GKS Katowice fans were filmed doing the salute in the direction of Hapoel Tel Aviv fans, as seen in a video shared on social media. GKS Katowice has not publicly commented on the Nazi salute displayed by some of its supporters, but UEFA told Fox News in an email that the incident is “currently being reviewed.”

    Hapoel Tel Aviv also won its Aug. 6 match against GKS Katowice, 2-0. The Israeli club will next compete against Italian Serie A team Atalanta on Aug. 20. The winner of the Conference League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League.
