SOCCER » An Italian league sports judge ordered Monday that Juventus play a match with no fans present because of racist insults hurled by its fans at Inter striker Mario Balotelli during a Serie A match.

League Judge Gianpaolo Tosel issued the ruling two days after Saturday's match at Turin's Olympic stadium, the ANSA news agency reported.

Balotelli, 18, was born in Palermo, the son of Ghanian immigrants. He scored Inter's goal in the 1-1 draw with Juventus, and was the subject of repeated racial slurs and chants during the match.

Juventus will now play the league game against Lecce on May 3 behind closed doors.
