Torpedo Moscow will play two home games behind closed doors as punishment for its fans racially abusing Zenit St. Petersburg striker Hulk.
The Brazilian, who is black, was taunted with monkey chants during Zenit's 1-1 draw with Torpedo on Sunday. In response, Hulk blew a kiss at the stands.
The Russian Football Union disciplinary commission ruled Hulk was targeted due to his "ethnicity and skin color" and handed Torpedo its third racism-related sanction of the season.
