The Brazilian attacker tripped an opponent in the 74th minute of the Ukrainian Premier League game and was visibly enraged at abuse from a section of Dynamo Kiev supporters in the top corner of the stadium.
The 31-year-old picked up the ball and kicked it into the supporters before swearing and raising his middle finger at the opposing supporters.
Referee Mykola Balakin deemed that Taison's outburst warranted a red card and dismissed the Shakhtar star shortly afterwards.
Taison was in an emotional state as he left the field, shedding tearson his way to the tunnel.
Team-mate and fellow Brazilian Dentinho was also in tears over the racist abuse experienced on Sunday.
His manager Luis Castro said in a statement that the racist abuse was a 'disgrace':
'My players have once again shown their character. They were showing the character throughout the game.
"At this moment, I want to support absolutely everyone suffering from racism and the guys who have suffered today."
