A figure in Inter’s elimination in the Conmebol Libertadores semi-final, Enner Valencia was the victim of racist insults on social networks. The number 13 wasted two clear scoring chances in the 2-1 defeat against Fluminense, in Beira-Rio, on Wednesday night.
The Ecuadorian was called “monkey” and “disgusting black man” in some publications on X, formerly Twitter. The player’s Instagram profile was also invaded by a lot of criticism, but without a racial nature.
In front of 50,000 Colorado fans, Coudet’s team opened the scoring after nine minutes, with Mercado, and had chances to expand in the final stretch. On two occasions Valencia had the match ball. A header, in the 25th minute, when he finished alone and sent it wide.
At 32, the Ecuadorian received a free kick, with space, he advanced and hit it with his right foot, but missed again. At that moment, the scoreboard still pointed to Inter’s advantage, until John Kennedy equalized, at 35, and Canó turned the game around, at 41.
