San Lorenzo will be forced to play its home match against Velez Sarsfield on Sunday behind closed doors because of violence last weekend by its fans.
Argentine football officials announced the move on Tuesday following a weekend match against Colon in which San Lorenzo fans pelted the pitch with missiles after a disputed goal.
In the same fixture a year ago, a San Lorenzo fan died after a confrontation with police outside the Velez Sarsfield stadium.
San Lorenzo is regarded as one of Argentina's ''big five'' clubs, but is trying to fight off relegation to the second division and grave financial problems.
