Spanish La Liga: Spanish La Liga side Getafe has been penalised with a partial ground closure punishment for their next three home games by the Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) as punishment for racist insults aimed at Sevilla coach Quique Sanchez Flores and defender Marcos Acuna during last Saturday's game between the two sides.

The club from the south of Madrid has also been given a 27,000-euro (29,100 US dollars) fine for the incidents which were reflected in the post-game report of referee Javier Iglesias Villanueva.

The insults came from the middle of Getafe's main stand, and it will now be closed and cordoned off for La Liga games against Real Sociedad, Athletic Club Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, Xinhua said in a report.
