River Plate left-back Marcos Acuna reportedly racially abused Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries after last night’s match in Seattle.
Per FCInterNews, on-field tensions escalated after the final whistle, resulting in a bizarre incident in the locker rooms.
Goals from Francesco Pio Esposito and Alessandro Bastoni inspired Inter to a 2-0 victory at Lumen Field.
However, the result took a back seat as another racial controversy overshadowed Inter’s triumph.
As if River Plate’s brutal tackles during the game weren’t stressful enough, the Argentines continued to torment Inter off the pitch.
Marcos Acuna Racially Abused Denzel Dumfries After Inter Milan Win vs River Plate
World Cup winner Marcos Acuna reportedly directed a racial slur at Denzel Dumfries, sparking outrage among the Italian squad.
Indeed, the Dutchman confronted the ex-Sevilla full-back, which led to a heated exchange.
Unfortunately, things escalated to the point their teammates had to intervene to prevent further damage.
Moreover, the River Plate staff pulled Dumfries aside to prevent him from taking justice into his own hands.
However, another act of racism cannot go unpunished.
Reffere tried all the time to help Rivel Plate, Foul on Sucic for red the reffere gives only yellow .
Its the ref’s fault, as many blatant yellow card offenses as the racist had yesterday he never got one car d and barely got called for fouls. The idiot even gave Denzel a card for nothing after one of these non calls.

Denzel would have fucked him up if he went in the tunnel with him.
I’m not sure he would, acuna would have killed him.
It’s also a piss poor article too, Dumfries did nothing, he literally ran off the pitch after acuna confronted him at full time… the ref lost the plot but acuna should get a ban.
I also can’t believe they weren’t both sent off when they were tussling when montiel got his second yellow, they were doing far worse and started it all.
Ref performances like this should lead to demotions, its a wonder there weren’t some serious injuries
