The meeting between AC Milan and Udinese (3-2, 21st day of Serie A) on January 20 caused a lot of ink to flow in Italy following the racist insults chanted by opposing supporters towards Mike Maignan. If, as a result of this new scandal, Florian Thauvin’s team had received a simple match behind closed doors, its sanction was reduced by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) this Wednesday.
“The first chamber of the National Court of Appeal for Sport, chaired by Carmine Volpe, partially ruled in favor of the appeal made by Udinese against the sanction of a match behind closed doors”, declared the FIGC via an official press release, therefore responding favorably to the call made by the current 17th in the Italian championship. As indicated by the transalpine body, the club from the Frioul region will therefore play the next two matches at home with a single closed stand.
