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.

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.
