ROME (Reuters) - AS Roma's match at home to Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday was briefly interrupted because of discriminatory chanting by home fans about the city of Naples.

The chanting began during the second half, according to Italian media, and when fans ignored an announcement requesting that it stop, the referee halted the Serie A game.
