New Delhi,
Bengaluru FC goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu has been handed a two-match suspension and a fine of Rs 3 lakh by the Indian Super League for his “violent conduct” during his side’s away match against FC Goa last week.

Gurpreet had a clash with Manuel Lanzarote Bruno, whom he shoved on the head from behind after the FC Goa player pushed him. The referee gave Gurpreet the marching orders while also awarding a penalty to FC Goa in the first half.

Bengaluru FC lost the match 3-4 at the Nehru Stadium in Margao on Thursday.

“Bengaluru FC player, Jersey No. 1 Gurpreet Singh Sandhu has been handed a two-match suspension and fine of INR 3 lakh with immediate effect for the Hero Indian Super League 2017-18 season,” the organisers said in a statement here today.

They added that the fine should be deposited to the All India Football Federation within 10 days from the date of communication of this decision and until such payment, the match suspension would continue, over and above the two-match suspension.
