Zamalek's Tunisian midfielder Ferjani Sassi was hit with a six-match ban and fined EGP 100,000 for confronting the referee of his side's 1-0 victory over Masry in the Egyptian Premier League last week, the country's football association said on Tuesday. Sassi plucked out the referee's earpiece after receiving his marching orders shortly before half-time during last Thursday's game, having received two yellow cards in quick succession for remonstrating with the official.
The Egyptian Football Association's disciplinary committee has also suspended Zamalek winger Emam Ashour for one game and handed him an EGP 50,000 fine after clashing with the Masry players after the game. The committee also fined Masry EGP 50,000 for their players' behavior after the match.
