Mumbai District Football Associaton’s (MDFA) disciplinary committee has suspended Indian Super League (ISL) side Mumbai City FC’s U-18 side for the entire season and slapped them with a Rs. 10 Lakh fine following an ugly episode which saw their players and officials manhandling an assistant referee after an MDFA Elite Division league match between the Mumbai City colts and Karnatak SA.
The match happened on December 11 at the Neville D’Souza ground in Bandra where Karnatak SA won the tie 1-0. After the game, the Mumbai players and their coaching staff were seen getting involved in a tussle with the match officials.
