Lazio have been ordered to play their next two home European games behind closed doors after their fans were found guilty of racist behaviour by UEFA for the fourth time this season.

Fenerbahce must also play their next home European match in an empty stadium and face a suspended one-season ban from UEFA competition after supporters threw fireworks from outside the stadium in the Europa League last-32 game with BATE Borisov.

That match was also played behind closed doors as part of an earlier ban for Fenerbahce.

The Turks have been fined €60,000 euros and the European competition ban is deferred for a probationary period of two years.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito, whose club had been warned after the Maribor incident that they faced a possible fan ban, was angry at the punishments despite the recurrent problems and said the Rome side would appeal.

“Two games behind closed doors, it’s incredible,” he said.

“We will appeal, that is certain.”
