Uefa has ordered a partial closure of CSKA Moscow's stadium after their fans racially abused Manchester City player Yaya Toure.

The sanction will apply to CSKA's next home match in the competition, against Bayern Munich on November 27.

Uefa issued a statement, saying: "The fight against racism is a high priority for Uefa. The European governing body has a zero-tolerance policy towards racism and discrimination on the pitch and in the stands. All forms of racist behaviour are considered serious offences against the disciplinary regulations and are punished with the most severe sanctions. Following the entry into force of the new disciplinary regulations on 1 June, the fight against racist conduct has been stepped up a level - resulting in more severe sanctions to deter any such behaviour."

Under the regulations, a second offence of racial abuse concerning spectators could result in a full stadium closure.
