A section of Lazio fans have been accused of directing racial abuse at Udinese players Duvan Zapata and Emmanuel Badu.

The Biancocelesti put in a commanding performance on the pitch in Saturday’s match, coming away from Friuli-Venezia-Giulia with a 3-0 win.

However, a report by Il Messagero Veneto is threatening to overshadow Simone Inzaghi’s team’s victory.

The Italian newspaper claims that within a minute of kick-off at Stadio Friuli, Colombian Zapata and Ghanaian Badu were on the receiving end of racially motivated booing from the Rome club’s supporters.

Whether Lazio face any retrospective investigation or action is likely to depend on whether referee Carmine Russo included the incidents in his match report.
