AC Milan and Roma battled out a 0-0 draw on Sunday as both sides finished with 10 men while the game was delayed because of racist chanting.
The point kept Milan in third place and on course for a Champions League spot. But red cards for Milan's Sulley Muntari and Roma skipper Francesco Totti, as well as more racist controversy, over-shadowed action on the pitch.
Muntari was sent-off for manhandling the referee as the official reached into his pocket to book Mario Balotelli. Play was then held up for three minutes early in the second half as Roma fans were warned to stop making racist chants, believed to be aimed at Balotelli. "Unfortunately the mentality is still retrogressive," Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said about the racist chants.
