Estoyanoff slapped with 6-match ban

Al Nassr winger Fabian Estoyanoff was yesterday banned for six matches and fined US$10,000 for a violent assault on Lekhwiya’s South Korean midfielder Nam Tae-hee during an Asian Champions League match.

The Uruguayan was seen grabbing Nam by the neck in television footage, pushing him against a wall and raining down punches on him in the players’ tunnel at the end of a group stage match in the Asian Football Confederation club competition on May 6.

Visiting Qatari side Lekhwiya, with Nam scoring the crucial second goal, had just defeated Al Nassr 3-1 to reach the knockout stages and eliminate its fierce Saudi rival from the 2015 Champions League.

The 32-year-old Estoyanoff was capped 31 times for Uruguay between 2001 and 2007 and joined Al Nassr, which was crowned Saudi Professional League champions last Sunday, from Uruguayan side Penarol in January.
