UTA Arad left-back Ali Abied has been sanctioned by the FRF Disciplinary Commission after he spat at Adnan Aganovic in Sepsi’s 4-1 loss to Sfanta Gheorghe.

Ali Abeid suspended for six stages after spitting at Adnan Aganovich

Sent off by referee Katalin Popa in the 69th minute of the 19th Super League match, Abeid was banned for six matches and fined 7,000 lei.

UTA coach Arad László Balint said the player was also fined by the club for the exit.

“Sorin Botish has sent him a strong message from the club saying that he will be fined quite severely as far as I know. For my part, I told him that I was very angry because a gesture like the one he made has no purpose and has no place in a dressing room where we adhere to certain principles and values. He also knows about this aspect, he apologized, it is not a beneficial situation for us.

This suspension comes at a time when we are facing challenges in this area, in this position, and he will stay at home and he has a very clear schedule that he will follow along with the players who are not traveling with the squad.” Laszlo Balintquoted by DigiSport.
