Atalanta's Argentine forward German Denis got a five-match ban Monday for bursting into the changing room of visitors Empoli after a 2-2 draw Sunday and punching defender Lorenzo Tonelli in the face. Atalanta General Manager Pierpaolo Marino said Denis, who scored Atalanta's injury-time equaliser, was provoked by death threats against his family. "I was threatened in front of my son as we were both going down the tunnel," Denis told reporters Monday.
