Two game ban for Pandev

Goran Pandev has been given a two-match ban after this red card in Genoa’s draw with Pescara.

The Grifone were already down to 10-men following Edenilson’s two bookings, and the Macedonian international followed shortly after, receiving a straight red for dissent.

The Lega Serie A’s disciplinary report has found that Pandev used “an insulting expression” toward referee Massmiliano Irrati, with an extra game added to his ban for further “disrespectful” language toward the match officials as he left the field of play.

Edenilson has been given the standard one match ban, as has Atalanta’s Franck Kessie after his red card in last night’s win over Crotone.

Away from the pitch, Cagliari have been fined €15,000 after fans launched smoke bombs toward Sampdoria goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano, and an assistant referee was struck in the back by two coins though “without causing him any injury”.

Enrico Preziosi’s declaration that the powers “want Pescara in Serie A” has earned Genoa a €5,000 fine.
