Malaysian footballer banned 6 games for spitting at opponent
Print Edition
MALAYSIAN midfielder Mohamed Nazmi Faiz Mansor has been slapped with a six-match ban for spitting at an East Timor opponent, ending his Southeast Asian (SEA) Games campaign.
The Football Association of Malaysia announced the ban yesterday via social media after the competition’s disciplinary committee had given it its verdict. The 20-year-old was sent off in the 32nd minute of Malaysia’s opening 1-0 win at Bishan Stadium in Singapore on Saturday for spitting at Filipe Oliveira after the pair tangled near the touchline. After the match, Nazmi said he was wrongly punished. “If I wanted to spit at the player I could have done it at his face which I didn’t because it wasn’t my intention,” he added. Malaysia is a six-time winner of the football gold medal at the biennial Games for the 11-nation bloc.
