Italian side punished over Boateng incident

Italian fourth division side Pro Patria have been ordered to play one match behind closed doors as punishment for the alleged racist chanting which prompted AC Milan’s Kevin-Prince Boateng to lead a player walk-off last week.

A friendly between the two sides last Thursday was abandoned after 26 minutes when Boateng responded to abuse by suddenly picking the ball up and kicking it towards the stand behind him.
