MILAN — Roma's hard-core"ultra" fans were given a suspended one-match ban by the Italian league on Tuesday for racist and insulting chants aimed at AC Milan players Franck Kessie and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Roma coach Jose Mourinho was fined 10,000 euros for"disrespectful" behaviour toward the referee after the game.
