New Delhi: FC Goa’s winger Redeem Tlang has been handed an additional one-game suspension by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) Disciplinary Committee for his direct red card incident against Mumbai City FC in the ongoing Indian Super League (ISL).
Tlang’s direct red card offence — a high boot on MCFC”s Hernan Santana — in November 25 match — was referred to the AIFF body.
“Issuing a verdict on the player’s reply to a show cause notice, the AIFF body found Tlang guilty of intentionally aiming to hurt and injure the opponent,” ISL stated in a media release on Wednesday.
“While the player has apologised in his reply, such intent was completely missing when the opponent player was in pain, according to the committee,” it added.
