Cup ban for spitting Saudi player
Print Edition
AFC player of the year nominee Nasser al Shamrani has been banned for eight matches for spitting and head butting an opponent after the final of the AFC Champions League this month.
The Saudi striker’s ban is only for matches in the AFC Champions League, meaning he will be free to represent his country at the Asian Cup in January and his club Al Hilal in domestic competition, Arabic media reported.
Al Shamrani spat in the direction of Western Sydney Wanderers defender Matthew Spiranovic after his side lost 0-1 on aggregate to the Australians following a goalless draw in Riyadh.
The 31-year-old diminutive forward, second leading scorer in the Champions League with 10 goals last term, was restrained by teammates after jumping to his feet from the floor and storming towards the substitute. The fiery forward said that it was a normal reaction to spit after claiming to be verbally abused by the Australian.
