On September 1, 2019, Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku was preparing to take a penalty in the 71st minute when monkey chanting could be heard from the crowd in Sardinia.
The 26-year-old Belgian international angrily looked towards the stands before converting the winning spot-kick, which came after Lautaro Martinez's 28th minute opener for the away side and Joao Pedro's leveller four minutes after the break.
Italy striker Moise Kean had previously been the victim of racist chants at Cagliari after he scored a goal there for his former team Juventus in April 2019, as was his French teammate Blaise Matuidi.
Lukaku, who joined Inter Milan from Manchester United for 65 million euros ($73 million) this summer, has scored two goals in as many Serie A matches.
