Juventus was fined 10,000 euros ($11,500) on Tuesday after a section of its supporters disturbed a minute’s silence in honor of former Italy and Inter Milan star Sandro Mazzola. Juventus risked having that section closed for its next match but the Italian league’s sporting judge said “the sanction was mitigated in light of the club’s prompt, formal stance regarding said deplorable behavior, as well as the fact that the rest of the crowd present at the stadium dissociated themselves from it.” The tribute was being held at all Serie A matches over the weekend after Mazzola, widely considered one of Italy’s greatest players, died on Friday.
