Mario Balotelli booted the ball into the stands and was only stopped from storming off the pitch by his team-mates after suffering racist abuse in Brescia’s 2-1 defeat by Verona.
The striker’s Brescia team-mates and opponents rushed over to calm him down whilst the referee urged a statement to be read out on the speakers.
The referee also temporarily suspended the game in accordance with FIFA’s protocol.
