In the 2-2 draw between the Mexican first division clubs Club America and Club Leon, referee Fernando Hernandez was out in an annoying way. The referee pinched a visiting team player in the genital area (video above).
The 39-year-old has now been suspended for twelve games, according to the verdict of the disciplinary committee. Accordingly, Hernandez violated Article 30 “by physically assaulting a player”.
The victim and the trainer also detained
But he is not the only one who is suspended, the affected player Lucas Romero (28) will also have to watch the next two games. The reason: “By behaving towards the match officials, he has violated the principles of fair play.”
In the already heated game, it also came to a good end between the coaches. Fernando Ortiz (45, Club America) and his opponent Nicolas Larcamon (38, Leon) attacked each other, Ortiz tore his opponent’s shirt. Both were sent off with a red card and have also been suspended for two games each for “violent conduct”.
Ortiz later told reporters that Leon Bank had insulted his mother, who had died nearly a year ago. “I’m actually for what happens on the field to stay there. But when it comes to an insult to my mother … “, says the America coach almost in tears, breaking off the interview.
Fulham’s Mitrovic fined for punching referee
A hefty penalty was also imposed in the Premier League. Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has been suspended for eight games after colliding with the referee in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United. He must also pay a fine of 75,000 pounds (about 85,000 francs).
The Serb sat out the first game of his suspension against Bournemouth on Saturday. The 28-year-old striker (eleven goals) is not expected to be available again for the “Cottagers” until May 13 (36th matchday) against Southampton. (che)
