Craig Harrington suspended three games

Less than 24 hours after Club América Femenil manager Craig Harrington was shown a red card during the match against Rayadas, the FMF has issued a three match suspension for Harrington as the incident itself has come into clearer focus.

During her press conference last night, Rayadas manager Eva Espejo accused Harrington of verbally abusing Rayadas players. This was backed up with video of the Rayadas players pointing toward Harrington and some walking toward him before referee Lizzet García shows him the red card. He argues somewhat with AR Carolina Briones before walking off.

Media agency Ellas de Deporte posted this series of photos, the first of which shows Harrington yelling toward Monterrey forward Aylin Avilés, who is being restrained by a teammate and Briones.
