Serie A's disciplinary committee added that no action would be taken against Cagliari over the incident.
Soccer's worldwide players' union says that a yellow card handed out to Pescara's Sulley Muntari should be rescinded after the Ghanaian global complained of racist abuse by fans in his team's Italian league game.
Under guidelines introduced following that incident, the referee is supposed to alert the fourth official who should in turn report the incident to the public security department responsible for policing at games. Moreover, the match officials say they did not hear the abuse.
Former Ghana midfielder chose to abandon the pitch during the stoppage time after receiving a yellow card. That's when I got pissed off.
The committee said that the Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly was the target of racist chanting by Inter fans during his side's 1-0 win at the San Siro, while Lazio supporters targeted the Roma defender Antonio Rüdiger during the Rome derby. So, I went over to him and told him not to do it.

A few mintues before the end of the Cagliari-Pescara game, Sulley Muntari made a decision to leave the pitch because of the racist chants against him. I asked him if had heard the insults. I am the victim here. "But if you stop the matches I am convinced that these things won't happen anymore".
"Muntari has abandoned the pitch because of racist chants but we should not take justice into our own hands", he said.
"Today this has happened when Muntari has already played in Italy for many years".
The 32-year-old walked off the pitch in protest shortly afterwards and was then given a second yellow card and sent off.
