Atletico Madrid Sanctioned After Fan Disruptions In Sunday's Derby
Spanish Football Federation: Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation decided to sanction Atletico Madrid for the incidents in Sunday's Madrid derby with the partial closure of the south stand in the Metropolitano Stadium for three games and a fine of 45,000 euros (48,700 US dollars).
Sunday's derby between Atletico and Real Madrid was halted for around 15 minutes in the second half, after members of Atletico's 'Frente Atletico' group of 'ultra' supporters, situated in the south stand, hurled objects, including cigarette lighters and plastic bottles at Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after he celebrated Eder Militao's opening goal in the game that ended 1-1.
The images of the incident were seen all around the world, given that the Madrid derby is one of the biggest games of the season in Spain and viewed globally by football fans.
