Atalanta fined €10,000 for racist abuse of Fiorentina's Dalbert

Atalanta has been fined €10,000 (£8,956/$10,955.85) for racist abuse directed toward Fiorentina defender Dalbert during a match on September 22.

Midway through the first half in the Serie A game at Stadio Ennio Tardini, referee Daniele Orsato signalled for the match to be stopped after Dalbert indicated he'd heard abuse from the home fans.

The game was immediately brought to a halt as an announcement was read over the stadium's PA speaker calling on fans to stop any and all abuse of the defender.

Those announcements, however, were drowned out by boos and whistles from the Atalanta supporters.
