Augsburg midfielder Daniel Baier has been fined and given a one-game ban after making an obscene gesture towards RB Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

The 33-year-old caused controversy as he made the motion towards Hassenhuttl during Augsburg's 1-0 victory over Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Baier made the unsporting gesture towards Hasenhuttl after becoming annoyed at the Leipzig manager complaining to the referee over a number of decisions during the match.

The incident, which was missed by referee Daniel Siebert, no doubt angered Hasenhuttl, who refused to shake Baier's hand at the end of the fixture.
