AFC imposes bans

FIVE players and coaching staff from South Korea's Suwon Bluewings and Qatar's al-Sadd have been banned for their part in an ugly brawl during a stormy Asian Champions League semifinal in midweek. The Asian Football Confederation yesterday suspended Suwon's Ristikj Stevica and assistant coach Ko Jong-su for the second leg in Doha on Wednesay. Al-Sadd players Keita Abdul Kader and Mamadou Hamidou Niang, plus goalkeeping coach Suhail Saber Ali, will also be ineligible following last Wednesday's ill-tempered game in Suwon, won 2-0 by the Qatari side.
