Porto striker Marega storms off pitch in protest following alleged racist chanting

A furious Moussa Marega had to be restrained by his Porto team-mates as he tried to leave the pitch in protest over alleged racial abuse from Vitoria de Guimaraes supporters during their Primeira Liga clash on Sunday.

The 28-year-old demanded he was substituted in the 69th minute of the game in reaction to chanting towards from the stands, which he had endured since the warm-up.

A clearly distraught Marega made his way towards the touchline, gesturing with two thumbs down towards the Vitoria fans.
