Valencia fans had to be warned during the game would be suspended if they continued to direct abuse towards the players.
Vinicius JR was then sent off in stoppage-time for hitting Valencia's Hugo Duro in the face.
It is not the first time he has been subject to racist abuse from away supporters with the player also being racially abused at Atletico Madrid and Real Mallorca.
The 22-year-old has since engaged in a war of words with LaLiga after his latest hardship.
