- Porto striker Moussa Marega left the pitch in protest of being subject to racist insults during his side’s 2-1 win away to Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal’s Primeira Liga on Sunday.

The Mali forward, 28, scored what proved to be the winning goal in the 60th minute and celebrated the goal by pointing to his skin in response to a section of the home fans who had targeted him throughout the match. “They insulted Marega since the warm up. We are all a family here, regardless of our nationality, skin colour, height or the colour of our hair and we all deserve respect. What happened here is outrageous.

Porto’s director of communications Francisco Marques added on his own Twitter account: “Marega was fed up and left the pitch and Porto was forced to make a substitution due to racism.”

In this day and age......this is 😢 sad.

😡😡No for racism... Vitoria G club must be suspended for one year.. Uefa banned Man city for financial violation time to put tough rules against racism..

Liga Portugal needs to suspend Vitoria Guimaraes for at least one full year. Send a real message. This is completely unacceptable.

Shame on his teammates, the ref and shame on Portugal.

Should be more walk offs to highlight this. Hate crimes need attention and punishment.

🔥🔥🔥

Are we going to let these right-wing asshole fascists rule the world, or we all going to stand up now? Maybe Porto should have walked off pitch. Maybe his teammates should be standing up for him. It's time for the good people of the world to defend it

VasCuco Walks off this way...

The right decision of Marega I dont get why his teammates wont let him go. The whole team should support him and follow him to the dressing room to show solidarity. Football is not everything.

Great guy..... Never keep racist guys in the pitch/ clobber... hammer them racist, only then they learn lessons. Am not against any others but we seem to go no where in this issue.

Stop being racist and enjoy the game because your white girls go after black men like it ain't nothing, the sad part black athletes fall for it every time.

This is what I don't understand you racist people go to matches where mostly black athletes in every sport! We can't help it we good at everythang!

FuckPorto
