ROME: Lazio have been ordered to shut the notorious Curva Nord section of Rome’s Stadio Olimpico for one game after racist chants aimed at Juventus players during their 4-0 defeat in Sunday’s Super Cup.

The defeat was sparked by a goal from Paul Pogba, a black French midfielder. Fans were warned about racist chanting over the stadium loudspeaker during the game but without apparent effect.

The chants were aimed at Pogba, Ghanaian midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah and defender Angelo Ogbonna.
