MILAN — The Cagliari soccer team has been fined $15,000 after fans chanted racist abuse at Juventus midfielder Mohamed Sissoko.

The Italian league imposed the fine Tuesday after Sissoko, who is black, was targeted by Cagliari fans in Sunday’s Serie A game.
Juventus was also fined this season after fans sang racially offensive songs about Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli.
Juventus and Inter Milan will meet again Saturday. There are concerns Juventus fans will again target Balotelli, who is of Ghanaian descent. Last season, Juventus had to play a match in an empty stadium after fans targeted him.
