Basic gets 2-match Serie A ban, 1 for Zaccagni, Koopmeiners and more

The Serie A Disciplinary Commission has inflicted a two-match ban on Lazio midfielder Toma Basic, while Teun Koopmeiners, Mattia Zaccagni and Torbjorn Heggem are among those suspended for one.

The verdicts were handed down following a fiery set of Week 15 fixtures, which concluded last night.

The most contentious game was certainly Lazio’s victory away to Parma, which saw them get all three points even after going down to nine men.

Serie A bans after Week 15 games

Basic was sent off for elbowing Nahuel Estevez in the ribs during an off the ball incident, and has therefore been given a two-match ban for violent conduct.

His Lazio teammate Zaccagni was also shown a straight red card during that match, but his mistimed sliding tackle on Estevez only warranted a one-game suspension.

Bologna defender Heggem saw red for stopping a clear goal-scoring opportunity against Juventus and he too received a one-match Serie A ban.

The players who accumulated enough yellow cards to activate an automatic one-match ban are Koopmeiners (Juventus), Rafik Belghali (Verona), Martin Frese (Verona), Kialonda Gaspar (Lecce), Martin Payero (Cremonese) and Kristjan Thorstvedt (Sassuolo).

Genoa have been fined €12,000 for their fans throwing fireworks onto the pitch, forcing the referee to halt play temporarily against Inter.

Como coach Cesc Fabregas and Verona tactician Paolo Zanetti must sit out a touchline ban.
