Sept 22 (Reuters) - Juventus ⁠were fined by Serie A on ⁠Tuesday aftertheir supporters interrupted a minute ‌of silence for former Italy international Sandro Mazzola.

Mazzola, who died on Saturday at the age of 83, ​had a stellar career playing ⁠for Inter Milan ⁠and the Italian national team.

During the minute's silence ⁠before ‌Juventus' home match against Atalanta, shouts were heard from a ⁠section of the Juve fans and some ​fans turned ‌their backs to the pitch. Other ⁠members of ​the crowd responded with applause.

A fine of €10,000 ($11,000) was imposed on Juventus after a small ⁠percentage of the supporters packed ​into the South Stand failed to properly respect the minute of silence, the Italian league ⁠said.

Juventus released a statement titled "Respect and Sportsmanship".

"No rivalry can justify a lack of respect during a minute’s silence," they said."Honouring the ​memory of those being ⁠remembered and coming together in remembrance during ​moments of commemoration is a ‌shared responsibility that transcends ​allegiances and colours."

9 月 22 日（路透社）——周二，尤文图斯球迷打断了为意大利前国脚桑德罗·马佐拉默哀一分钟的仪式，因此被意甲联赛罚款。

马佐拉于周六去世，享年 83 岁。他曾效力于国际米兰和意大利国家队，拥有辉煌的职业生涯。

在尤文图斯主场对阵亚特兰大的比赛前默哀一分钟期间，部分尤文球迷发出喊叫声，一些球迷背对着球场。其他球迷则以掌声回应。

意大利联赛表示，由于南看台上挤满了一小部分球迷，他们未能正确尊重默哀一分钟的仪式，尤文图斯被处以 10,000 欧元（11,000 美元）的罚款。

尤文图斯发表了一份题为“尊重与体育精神”的声明。

他们表示：“任何竞争都不能成为在默哀一分钟时缺乏尊重的理由。缅怀逝者，在纪念时刻共同追忆，是超越党派和肤色的共同责任。”
