Atalanta have been fined €25,000 after their fans threw objects at Lazio goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
As reported by Italian newspaper Tuttosport yesterday, the Bergamo-based club received the fine because their fans threw a variety of small objects at the Spanish goalkeeper during the dying minutes of their recent 2-2 draw against the Biancocelesti.

Reina was struck on the back of the head by a thrown coin during the incident. The Lazio goalkeeper was also booked by referee Marco Guida during this situation due to ‘time wasting’.
The penalty to Atalanta was not too severe because the club immediately identified and banned the culprits, using cameras inside the stadium to help identify the offending fans.
The same announcement from the sporting judge also contained details of a closure of the Curva Sud for Roma, after their fans racially abused AC Milan duo Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Franck Kessie.
Giallorossi coach Jose Mourinho was also fined €10,000 for using offensive language towards the referee after the match.
