The match Sunday was suspended briefly after three minutes when fans insulted Eto’o every time he kicked the ball. It is believed to be one of the few times an Italian match has been stopped for that reason.
Once the match resumed, Eto’o scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory for the European champion.
When he played for Barcelona, Eto’o once threatened to walk off the field in protest following racist chanting by Real Zaragoza‘s supporters.
