Disappointment Boils Over into Online Abuse for Genk’s Arokodare

Tolu Arokodare, Nigerian forward for KRC Genk, faced a barrage of racist attacks online after a missed penalty in their defeat to Club Brugge last weekend.

The miss came in the 18th minute, denying Genk an early lead.

Despite Arokodare’s impressive record of eight goals in just ten starts for the club since joining last summer, some fans took to social media to express their frustration with the penalty miss in a hateful and unacceptable way.
