Bologna supporters silenced a fellow attendee at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara for directing racist remarks towards Inter fullback Denzel Dumfries during their recent Serie A encounter. The incident occurred over the weekend when the Nerazzurri secured their 10th consecutive victory in the league, defeating Thiago Motta’s side 1-0 with Yann Aurel Bisseck’s goal in the 37th minute.
This win extends Inter’s lead at the top of the Serie A table to 16 points. Despite the loss, Bologna maintains a strong position in the league standings with ten games remaining, currently occupying the fourth spot with a three-point advantage over Roma, led by Daniele De Rossi. The Emilia-Romagna-based club is eager to secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League, a milestone they have yet to achieve in their history.
Reports from Calciomercato.com reveal the circulation of a video on social media depicting a Bologna supporter engaging in racial abuse directed at Dumfries during the match against Inter. The supporter referred to Dumfries using derogatory language and made racist gestures. However, the abusive behavior was promptly challenged by another Bologna supporter who captured the incident on video, as well as other spectators nearby. They condemned the abusive behavior and questioned the perpetrator’s mindset, expressing disbelief and disapproval with the question, “What the hell are you thinking?”.
