AFC charges Guangzhou for ‘British Dogs’ banner

GUANGZHOU Evergrande has been charged by the Asian Football Confederation after its fans unfurled a banner with the words ‘Annihilate British Dogs’ during their AFC Champions League match against Eastern of China’s Hong Kong on Tuesday.

The banner, which read “Annihilate British Dogs, Eradicate Hong Kong Independence Poison”, was displayed late in Guangzhou’s 6-0 win over the Hong Kong champion. Guangzhou, two-time winner of the continental club competition, has been charged with two offenses, the first under Article 58 of the AFC’s disciplinary and ethics code and the second under Article 65, which relates to spectator misconduct.
